She brilliantly analyses the language that reveals the social realities of the society about which Karooro writes as well as the socio-cultural influences on language in her novels. Her analysis of language focuses on such issues as social, political and moral depravity, gendered language, and folklore as crosscutting elements in the language of Karooro's fiction. Asasira's application of the Sociolinguistic theory to the study of Karooro's fiction is a unique approach to the study and analysis of literature. No doubt,her work is an unchallengeable masterpiece.
