Chinua Achebe Wasn't Exposed When He Wrote “things Fall Apart” The Book Should B by Cletusjnr1993: 6:00pm On Aug 20, 2016 |
The Nigerian writer and budding film-maker, Onyeka Nwelue, made the declaration in a recent interview with PremiumTimes. When asked about the late novelist, Chinua Achebe, he said: "I think Things Fall Apart should be buried and never made to resurrect. Yes, Anthills of the Savannah is a very beautiful book; it’s well written. But I don’t agree with Things Fall Apart being called the great African novel by everybody. There are better books. . If you’ve read Things Fall Apart and have read what young people write these days – people like Helen Oyeyemi, Diekoye Oyeyinka and Chigoize Obioma – you would know that Achebe’s writing of Things Fall Apart at that age was not intelligent; he was not exposed." http://2-4gist..com/2016/08/chinua-achebe-wasnt-exposed-when-he.html

I think whoever say this need a very thorough brain surgery. THINGS FALL APART. Still and will always be the best novel. |
