oga...what you should have said is which do you prefer? Chimamanda or Chinua Achebe. that would have made more sense. The fact that i prefer Chimamanda doesn't make her a better writer than Chinua Achebe |

Both of them are good and have their unique styles and they are both legends at their respective games. Who's superior? ...None. |

Achebe is an institution of literature. He can only be compared with Soyinka but others should not be mentioned in the same sentence as them..... 1 Like 1 Share |

hifaif1:So much words.Yet NOTHING said.You just heard/read those words somewhere on the internet and like the bandwagoner that you are(this is not an insult) adopted it and placed it on your head like a carton of biscuits.You might be wondering why I am pushing this Dan Brown issue.It is because it is not the first time I am hearing anti-Brown commentators say this, and this is simply because of their religious sensibilities.So I ask you again, what are these scientific and historical 'inaccuracies' as they appear to be 'open secrets' which some of us are not privy to.I am also still waiting for the meaning of 'wacky English'.I humbly ask to be enlightened by your free therapy. |

Ranchhoddas:You can say that again. She is no way closer to any of those two. Have you read any of chimamanda's books ?. Do you even understand their style of writing. |

Ranchhoddas: Hahaha, pathetic how you jump into conclusions!!! I thought we were talking about the characteristics of good prose and that Dan Brown was merely one of my examples!!! Listen, there is an argument and it is not about Dan Brown!!! I am no Dan Brown enemy!!! I brought him into the equation to pass a point that size and prolificacy is not what comes in to determine the strength of authors against one another!!! If you want me to prove anything concerning Dan Brown, open a thread for that!!! No wonder you were whinnying!!! You asked for parameters, Dan Brown comes into my reply as an example and you got so sentimental that you forgot we were talking about Adichie and Achebe and good prose!!! In plainer terms, it is either you open a thread for Dan Brown or you go read up on him!!! Or weren't it you who asked me for parameters for determining the strength of a writer!!! You left the answers and picked on an example!!! When I told you to calm down, I never knew it was this pathetic!!! This was where you left the original argument and armed yourself with the cry: "Show us the inconsistencies" Ranchhoddas: When people behave like this, you know they have nothing else to offer!!! We are talking literature, you come in talking Dan Brown, forgetting how he came into the argument!!! What serious school or examination board will even recommend his books!!! The fact is your literary appreciation is wacky (strange)!!! |

smh. The right question should have been "between Cyprian Ekwensi and Chinua Achebe who was a better writer?". This topic is clearly a mumulectual's dream joust. |

Even Adichie has mentioned quite a number of times that Achebe is her favorite writer. |
