Seasons Of Anomy by Wole Soyinka
Set in an unnamed West African state, the novel chronicles a society sliding into social and political anomy as institutions crumble under corruption, violence, and indifference. Through interwoven perspectives that mix satire, myth and reportage, it examines how individuals respond—by fleeing, resisting, or exploiting the chaos—and probes the possibility of moral renewal amid systemic collapse. The narrative interrogates postcolonial power, the roots of mass unrest, and the human cost of failed governance.
