Amos Tutuola
Don't Pay Bad for Bad includes selected out-of-print, rare, and never-before-published fiction by the iconic Nigerian author. Amos Tutuola (1920 - 1997) was a largely self-taught Nigerian writer who became internationally praised for books based in part on Yoruba folktales, especially the phantasmagorical The Palm-Wine Drinkard (1952). Welsh poet Dylan Thomas called Tutuola's work â€œthronged, grisly and bewitching,â€ bringing it even more attention. This edition features an extensive introductory essay on Tutuola by his son Yinka Tutuola, an afterword by Matthew Cheney, and a bibliography. The collection has been praised by Nigerian-born writer Nnedi Okorafor.
