Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe is widely regarded as the most
important of the numerous African novelists who gained global
attention in the second half of the 20th century. Achebe is
certainly the African writer best known in the West, and his first
novel, Things Fall Apart, is a founding text of postcolonial
African literature and regarded as one of the central works of
world literature of the last 50 years. Though best known as a
novelist, Achebe is also a critic, activist, and spokesman for
African culture. This reference is a comprehensive and
authoritative guide to his life and writings. Included are several
hundred alphabetically arranged entries. Some of these are
substantive summary discussions of Achebe's major works of fiction,
nonfiction, and poetry. Other topics include: * All of his major
fictional characters and settings * Important concepts and issues
central to his writings * Historical persons, places, and events
relevant to his works * Influential texts by other writers Entries
are written by expert contributors and close with brief
bibliographies. The volume also provides a general bibliography and
chronology.
