In 1984, two years after writing his classic childhood autobiography Ake, Wole Soyinka opened a tin box that had belonged to his father, a schoolteacher during Nigeria's colonial period. The simple contents of this box - 'a handful of letters, old journals with marked pages and annotations, notebook jottings, tax and other levy receipts, minutes of meetings and school reports, programme notes of special events' - provide the fuel for this second instalment of Soyinka's memoirs: a son's fictionalised 'voyage' into the life and times of his father.
