    Who does this writer's cap fit? Okoampa? Akadu Mensema? Dr SAS? Michael Bokor? Mahama? Too many innuedoes! And essay is tangential. No specific theme as the centre cannot hold and mere anarchy is loose upon the mind. The aut ...

    At least, we may disagree with Okoampa and Akadu about their criticism of our poiitical and social systems. The fact is that they make sense more than these Ewe-wanna-be-Akan Kwarteng!

    Dear Brothers,

    Critical readers and thinkers like you are why I have refused to come here explaining everything I write in this series.

    For instance, YAW's comments here (MATTER-OF-FACT) reduce my essay to all that I h ...

    Dear Sammy,

    Thanks for your response.

    Here is my take: I don't think when Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Wole Soyinka, Kwame Anthony Appiah, Kwesi Atta Sakyi, or Ngugi wa Thiong'o write for newspapers they have in mind read ...

    Hmm. So does Kwarteng Francis have any unique literary identity despite the litany of literary influences? Can I pick any piece of his and admit, yes this is Francis Kwarteng?
    You have chosen your path of verbal effusions a ...

    Dear Brother Yaw,

    Thank you very much.

    You have always made my work easier by going all the way to explain my writings to others. Indeed, none of your interpretations of my work has ever detracted from what I have alwa ...

    Yaw, perhaps you don't know my background. I read and write avidly. A slice of my background: I read English at KNUST under the tutelage of the late prof s.k. okleme, Dr Dadson, thé list goes on and on. I devoured both Afric ...

    Dear Reader,

    Why are Andy, Sammy, Kweku Donsuro, YAW, etc., on the same wavelength with me on the issues I raise in this series?

    Dear Kumaga,

    I am for real.

    The onetime American literature professsor and bilingual translator appreciates my writings.

    That is not an understatement but a patent fact.

    Thanks.

    I laughed cos you are the misguided scholar! It is only on free Ghanaweb that such idiocy would be published! Sadly, whomever you are thrashing or parodying is your sick self! Stop smoking the weed! You are hallucinating.

  • YAW 9 years ago

    Being outspoken is one thing but being pig ignorant about the very topic Mr Kwarteng is writing about is quite another.You must have a large brain to hold so much ignorance about LAMPOONING!

  • Kwadwo 9 years ago

    Any person with this kind of thinking is swimming in a thick okra stew of inferiority complex.

  • ADJOA WANGARA 9 years ago

    There we go! the misguided idiot Francis Kwarteng is back to misuse the platform with his non sense making paragraphs of books.

    Kwarteng the 2nd idiot in command next to his senior Ewe idiot, Bokor.

  • Nana Amponsem 9 years ago

    I’ve always clicked on this Kwarteng’s writings just for curiosity sake. Trying to weigh his ego and trying to picture how this guy may be sitting in front of his computer thinking how educated he is. Saying to himself ho ...
