Yes and No: The Intimate Folklore of Africa, by Alta Jablow (HC, 1961, weakened spine in the front, $2)
Jablow lists for us various types of folklore: riddles, stories of love, proverbs, and dilemmas. It was the section on dilemmas I found the most intriguing. Jablow states that dilemmas are solvable, but how to solve them? To "chose one horn" of a dilemma leads one to death. To withdraw from the dilemma, and not to try to solve it, leaves life meaningless. Only if you embrace both horns of a dilemma "as ardently as possible, and to stay with it" can find you find a solution. The lesson is not just in finding the solution, but also it is in the process. Note some of the dilemmas have solutions in the back. Some do not.
Look for this in the African section.
