The Gods Had Gone to Sleep

The Gods Had Gone to Sleep is an African story narrated in a
distinct dramatic style. The story is full of actions and dialogues
married by philosophical thoughts relative to the norms from an
African society. The story is set in Wasoya.


Dele Kogbe has made a signal contribution to the exploration of the nature
and future of Africana philosophy, which refi nes the intellectual life of our
ancient Motherlands civilization and culture

The God Had Gone to Sleep is a good story rooted in Yoruba custom and
tradition, enlivens the mind of the readers as it unveils and resolves tension
associated with kingship and dictatorship

This is a really lovely book, I have enjoyed reading. There is an established
African style, which adds to the telling of a Nigerian story, I would not say
that it should be anglicised as the style adds fl avour and character ...good
language and the ability to tell a story, build tension and so on. Well done,
Dele, you clearly have talent as a writer
