Kofi Agovi is a professor of African literature and drama at the Institute of African Studies, University of Ghana, Legon, Ghana. He has written critical essays on oral and written African literature, as well as poems and short stories. In his "Wind from the North and Other Stories", a collection of six stories, Agovi uses traditional oral- derived African forms and addresses such topics as Ghanaian religious beliefs, politics, and culture. In portraying the vicissitudes of life for ordinary African people, Agovi focuses on the uncertainties of contemporary reality. Thus, these stories are full of meanings that are difficult to decipher, and they often end unpredictably.
