Book Overview

Analysis of the writings of Chinua Achebe aimed at students of literature.

Simon Gikandi has set out to reveal '...the very nature of Achebe's] creativity, its prodigious complexity and richness...its paradoxes and ambiguities. This is scholarship of real stature and supersedes all other studies of Achebe's writing. It comes at a good time. Achebe's literary reputation is equal to that of any living author and a substantial critical canon has been established. - G.D. Killam, Professor of English, University of Guelph
