Things Fall Apart

Have you ever read a book by an author whose name you did not know how to pronounce?
I am currently reading Things Fall Apart by Nigerian born author Chinua Achebe. Luckily, I could listen to the author say his name here.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Things Fall Apart. Achebe has written many novels throughout his career, but this book is considered his masterpiece. The work has been translated into fifty languages and has had sales of over 10 million copies.

Reading this work which represents African village life is one good way to celebrate Black History Month. What books are you planning to read for Black History Month? We have a nice selection in the library. Stop by to pick one up.
