About the book

One of the world's leading novelists and the man who launched the development of an entire continent's literature, Chinua Achebe is as renowned for his 1958 debut, Things Fall Apart, the first book to offer an answer to European caricatures of African characters, as he is for his subsequent life work, which includes Anthills of the Savannah among numerous others. This biography explores Achebe's writing as well as his early life in colonial Nigeria, his involvement in the Nigerian Civil War, and his academic and political work over the past thirty years.
