Wole Soyinka and Tara June Winch

A young mother, beginning her career as a novelist in Australia, and a renowned Nigerian author, often in demand internationally for his opinions and insights, are worlds apart in terms of geography, culture and experience. But, from their first encounter, it was obvious to Wole Soyinka, when selecting his protégée for a year of mentoring, that Tara June Winch was the right choice for him. And as the pair plunged into their literary collaboration, the convergence of their paths seemed completely natural and appropriate, as a vital experience of life and literature, dear to them both, brought them together in a close, spontaneous partnership.
