Abstract

Critics have examined Nigerian authorsâ€™ ideological inclinations that foreground the post-military Nigerian novels and silhouetted their philosophical underpinnings against the themes, characterization and artistic representation of realities. However, a fundamental gap is observed in existing critical studies as to the degree that the post-military Nigerian authors deploy different narratological perspectives or techniques: ultra-realism, child narrator, I - narrator, among others. Therefore, this study is a critical analysis of the approach of ultra-realism to the depictions of socio-political realities in the selected novel of Wale Okediran. The necessity to undertake a study to critically investigate the approach of ultra-realism to the narrations of the malaise of the Nigerian nation during the post-military era has been invigorated by the socio-political realities and crises currently bedeviling the country. Also, Nigeria represents a hodge-potch of complex multicultural and ethno-linguistic milieu which, by this nature, represents a micro-African setting. The method of textual explication of the selected text with informed theoretical framework of Sociology of Literature is used for the analysis. The study, therefore, establishes the bases for the continued prevalence of issues of decadence in post-military Nigerian literature in spite of the change in the socio-political setting of the nation.
