Intertextuality in contemporary African literature : looking inward / Ode Ogede.

• When an elephant rustles the bush -- Is a picture still worth a thousand words? from documentary to investigative realism: Cyprian Ekwensi's Jagua Nana and Flora Nwapa's One is enough -- Lampoon, or the power of savage satire, and the visual object of distaste: Chinua Achebe's A man of the people and Ayi Kwei Armah's The beautyful ones are not yet born -- On the politics of love: Chinua Achebe's No longer at ease and Bessie Head's Maru -- Masking the infrastuctural frame: Christopher Okigbo and his acolytes (Labyrinths' aural and thematic echoes in Okinba Launko's Minted coins and Chimalum Nwankwo's The heart in the womb) -- Conclusion: coming out of shadow: eye on the tradition, looking for consequence..
