See also his NO LONGER AT EASE, A MAN OF THE PEOPLE, ANTHILLS OF THE 
SAVANNAH, ARROW OF GOD.... Just how *real* or how *African* Achebe's 
perspective is, who knows. His stuff is certainly good. He represents a 
particularly, (ugh!) humanist African tradition - for more hard core 
stuff send request. My favorite 'African' writer is still Coetzee.

BTW, there is no such thing as 'Africa'.
