Description
Deji Haastrup’s collection of essays, titled A Rich, Enabling Silence, is the sequel to his much praised 1992 collection, Eavesdropping, which Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka unreservedly proclaimed as a light, urbane reading, product of gentle wit and measured prose, much in the manner of Addison and Steele, those eighteenth century English practitioners of the personal journal. A Rich, Enabling Silence might very well live up to that acclaim.
