| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Chinua Achebe is one of the greatest realist writers in world literature in perhaps the last one and half centuries. But the Achebe that appears in There Was a Country is to me entirely a new one. The challenge is how to characterize this other Achebe that is standing beside the old, urbane and subtle writer in this new book. |
