About the Book
“Lies, unfortunately, basically lack terminus! They must be augmented, their career must be sustained, and by whatever means. The graver the lie, the greater its need for fertilisers. Its ravenousness chains the liar to the maintenance of an original fabrication, whose appetite has no limits. Thus, in extreme cases, if it is necessary to rob, the liar does not even think twice; he robs. If it is necessary to maim, he maims. If killing is what it takes… well, why don’t the sceptical over this simply check a few police files? When the target proves difficult to kill, then, of course, they must kill whatever he or she represents.” A follow-up to the earlier volume, Soyinka is just as cutting and acerbic, as he takes on his bêtes noire in ‘The Republic of Liars’; and as usual, he pulls no punches.

Mandela: The Authorised Biography By Anthony Sampson
Seller: GrammyBooksIn 1975, imprisoned for life on Robben Island, Nelson Mandela covertly wrote his autobiography. After painstaking months the text was smuggled out–and was promptly quashed by the African National Congress. In his later Long Walk to Freedom Mandela politely expresses “surprise” at this. Sampson reveals that Joe Slovo suppressed the book for not giving enough prominence to Communists. This revelation is remarkable–the ANC could have made much mileage from the book at a time of low fortune–yet Sampson does not follow up. There is too often a sense of eggshells lightly walked upon.
