Description
The first full biography of Chinua Achebe, author of Things Fall Apart.
Achebe is the man who invented African literature because he was able to show, in the structure and language of Things Fall Apart, that the future of African writing did not lie in simple imitation of European forms but inthe fusion of such forms with oral traditions', says Professor Simon Gikandi of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
This biography of Chinua Achebe captures how his personal characteristics have combined with historical events to produce the man who cleared the frontiers of literature for Africa
