  • Summary

  • Penn State Berks professor, Dr. Thomas Jay Lynn, joins us on the front porch to discuss Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart. Tom's book, Chinua Achebe and the Politics of Narration: Envisioning Language, has been called "a notable contribution to Achebe studies." Tom takes us deep into the world of Things Fall Apart and highlights important and lasting contributions Achebe made to world literature and the West's understanding of Africa and the impacts of colonization. We learn more about Achebe's Igbo way of viewing the duality of life and how that duality is represented in his writing and his very flawed main character, Okonkwo.
