The soil, too soft. The
root, all chopped off.
An Iroko has fallen...
The giant of African literature, father of the African proverbs and oral tradition.
With a great sense of expertise, he weaves folk tales into the fabrics of his stories, bringing forth the community values in both the content and the form of storytelling.
Captivating and suspense filled chapter after chapter, digging you deeper into the cultural anal of African society.
He writes with a great command of the English language, code switching and mixing in a thrilling manner causing confusion even with the original owners of the language.
Great respect er of the African language, culture and beliefs. He always finds a way of depicting Africa as a ground of civilization even before the arrival of the OYINBOs.
How can one celebrate African Literature without folk songs?
"For whom is it well, for whom is it well? There is no one for whom it is well"(Things Fall Apart)
A dope blending of folk songs rendered 'sexily' to the readers worldwide.
He develops his plot in an architectural form of completeness giving you a form of comfort in the novel your bulging eyes are seriously reading.
A great narrator, storyteller and awesome essayist. Perfectionist, father and a friend...
Go tell it to the mountains, tell it to the inks and pens. Go tell it to the prints and craving eyes, tell them that THE IROKO HAS FALLEN.

Things finally falls apart
when the Anthills of the Savannah dealt with the Girls at War. Its a regular
Trouble with Nigeria-home and Exile.
The arrow of God made both Chike and the River no Longer @ Ease. There was a Man of the People, loved by many...
THERE WAS A COUNTRY which is the latest of his novels is already in the shelves of literary enthusiasts like myself. Finally, THINGS FALL APART.
Adieu Pa Albert Chinulumogu Achebe.
