Folk Poetics by Ropo Sekoni
The trickster tale is the most popular sub-genre of oral prose fiction developed by the Yoruba. This text aims to establish the phenomenology of its discourse from a socio-semiotic perspective. It investigates what makes up a trickster tale and shows how contemporary African writers have used it.-
