About the Author

Chinua Achebe was born in Nigeria in 1930. His first novel, Things Falls Apart, became a classic of international literature and required reading for students worldwide. He also authored four subsequent novels, two short-story collections, and numerous other books. He was the David and Marianna Fisher University Professor and Professor of Africana Studies at Brown University and, for over 15 years, was the Charles P. Stevenson Jr. Professor of Languages and Literature at Bard College. In 2007, Achebe was awarded the Man Booker International Prize for lifetime achievement. He died in 2013.

What People are Saying About This

Margaret Atwood

Chinua Achebe is a magical writer -- one of the greatest of the 20th-century.

Michael Ondaatje

He is one of the few writers of our time who has been touched with a code of values that will never be ironic. A great voice.
