jA great loss: Things Fall Apart author, Chinua Achebe, passed away
In some ways it is difficult to believe that Chinua Achebe was only 82. His acclaimed novel about modern civilzation forcing its way into his traditional African world feels like a story that couldn't possibly have happened so recently. But, likely that scenario is still being reenacted throughout the world today.
If you have not had the opportunity to read "Things Fall Apart," now would be a great time to pick it up. A dramatic story in itself, it is all the more riveting because it is true. Do yourself a favor and read this book!
