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
