Highlife for Caliban (African Writers Library)
by Lemuel A. Johnson
Category: Poetry

This "high life" in the poetry of Johnson's Sierra Leone Trilogy sets us up for the worlds of Caliban and Tarzan, of St. Augustine and Ophelia; Jane and Shylock; and of His Excellency, the politician. So, too, that of Freetown schools that sound like England and Eton and Harrow. This is "high life".
