Amadu Baduku, a jobless and starving writer was walking near Tinubu Square, Lagos one late afternoon when the traffic hold-up was at its worst. He soliloquized on the hold-up and his endless years of trouble, tears and pain on the rough terrain of trying to earn a living by writing. Rejection slip after rejection slip from publishers had nearly driven him to the edge of despair. To compound his problems he also fell out with Anyawu, an intellectual and highly sophisticated beauty who had offered him shelter and wanted to mould him into a specific kind of writer.
