O knihe

The House that Fiction built is an effort to show how African literature has been very relevant in shaping Africa, especially Nigeria. It tries to make readers conscious of the development context of African literature and how interpretations and critical analyses by critics are simply efforts at finding solutions to various issues represented by various African literary texts. This is very important in the light of beliefs by even literature scholars that the study of literature cannot make anybody either a mediator or an advocate of some sorts.The fact is that scholars who have such views have not denied the fact that studying fiction humanizes and even makes one a better person. What they have not thought about is what the scholar of literature will do with his or her state of having been humanized or having become better persons. Some have even stated boldly that what is imparted in one who has studied fiction professionally is simply interpretive skill and also critical or analytic skill. However, they cannot deny that even interpretation and analysis are simply efforts to clarify to the point of understanding and also isolate facts or truths with a view to finding a solution.
