Season of Anomy is the second novel by Nobel winning Nigerian playwright and critic Wole Soyinka.

When Ofeyi is sent on an advertising campaign of his anonymous country, he arrives in a seaside community that has long been isolated from the corrupt national government due to its distant location.

The novel explores "the role of individual will as the agent of social transformation", looking at the actions taken by each of the four main characters in changing the corrupt Nigerian society.

For example, critic Joseph Obi describes the novel as a "definitive reading of the militarized state in Africa".

[3] Critic Obi Maduakor calls the novel an "intensely religious book," preoccupied with "moral issues".
