achebe

How Achebe can turn around and prevent someone else from using a title he himself borrowed is beyond me.

Have you actually read any of his novels, or are you relying on Achebe to do it for you?

Unfortunately, cannot say the same about ones Achebe has since the rules have extended time periods to be much longer now.

Note that Achebe wrote it and it became popular before he was a professor.

Have a look at criticism by Chinua Achebe and the latter rebuttals.

Chinua Achebe is widely considered one of the greatest modern novelists.

I'm embarrassed not to have remembered that Achebe had died a while ago.

I read Achebe and consider Things Fall Apart to be one of the best books I have read along with Hundred Years of Solitude.

James 49% The Hunger Games Suzanne Collins 48% Lord of the Flies William Golding 43% The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Douglas Adams 43% Things Fall Apart Chinua Achebe 30% The Silmarillion J.

The crazy part of this is that Achebe took the title from a line from Yeats' 1919 poem "The Second Coming".

That's a trademark issue, "Things Fall Apart" by Achebe is one of the most popular works of literature in Nigeria & Africa.

I'm pretty sure hardly anyone knows about Chinua Achebe, so your definition of "widely" must be quite wide.

“Until lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.” - Chinua Achebe 4.

I am happy to hear that you have read Achebe, and you should read Powers as well.

I haven't heard of any person in that list - other than Chinua Achebe, author of Things Fall Apart.

BTW RIP to Chinua Achebe, he was a great writer.
