Beware Soul Brother And Other Poems

"Things fall Apart", is compared with Joyce Cary's "Mister Johnson". Achebe's novel is seen as a more realistic portrayal of the society and culture of indigenous people of Nigeria.

This compendium of 37 essays provides global perspectives of Achebe as an artist with a proper sense of history and an imaginative writer with an inviolable sense of cultural mission and political commitment.

The book reveals how mid-twentieth-century African, Caribbean, Irish, and British poets profoundly affected each other in person and in print.
