Five Questions with Mobolaji Adenubi
Mobolaji Adenubi takes on ZODML's mini-version of the Proust Questionnaire:
Who are your favourite authors? Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, and William Shakespeare.
Who are your three favourite literary characters? Oliver Twist, Julius Caesar and Pip (from Great Expectations).
If you could have any talent in the world, what would you choose? I'd like to be able to play classical piano.
What is your favourite quote from a literary work? "To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing." - Macbeth
If you could invite three figures – historical or literary, real or fictional – to your last supper, who would you pick? Beethoven, my secondary school principal Sister Kathleen, and my father.
