Quick announcement before we begin here; the school board will not be able to supply us the books, so through an intricate system of borrowing, buying, and other means, we will have to find the books ourselves. If you are will ing to lend your copy to someone else in the club after reading, please feel free to comment below.
Achebe was adamantly against Nigeria and African writing, or the continent itself, being subjegated or treated as something inferior. Here is his essay in which he systematically breaks down Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, considered to be a classic of Western Literature. You don't have to have read Conrad to enjoy this essay, and to give you a little more insight into our author. Let me know what you think!
