Description:
"This is the first book to offer a serious, balanced critical examination of Achebe's fiction. A provocative study of the rich and varied oeuvre of Africa's best known novelist, it redefines the concept of cultural nationalism to encompass issues covering political, social and other forms of behavior that shape and determine the manner in which the writer views himself and his world. And it is written in a lively and lucid language that is immensely delightful to read."--BOOK JACKET.
