Freedom by Jonathan Franzen

Freedom is a novel published in the year 2010 by American novelist Jonathan Franzen. Freedom is an extremely progressive, innovative and contemplative novel which meditates upon the notion of liberty and the harmful nature of it, the struggles that liberty entails, and non-redemptive decisions hewn out of free will which lead human beings to both destroy themselves and their surroundings. It has a feel-and-texture of classic dystopian novels except that this is a modern realist family novel with uncountable sexual jokes and dark humour that typical Franzen fans will gush over. https://bit.ly/2z9x00V

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe

Things Fall Apart is a novel by Chinua Achebe published in the year 1958 to great acclaim and since then, has been recognised as a classic of postcolonial literature. Things Fall Apart is a remarkable novel, which manages to be persuasive and intricate enough to dazzle the readers. It is also a novel which should be taught in universities and schools as an important tale of postcolonialism which, in my view, would educate the readers more than the non-fictional accounts. Chinua Achebe should be read for the sole reason that he has given voice to a whole generation of brilliant African writers and we, as readers, should forever be indebted to him. https://bit.ly/2Zcclb7
