Anthills of the Savannah by Chinua Achebe
Anthills of the Savannah

Su'ur Agema, August 4, 2006

The book is a political satire centred on the fictitious state of Kangan. It revolves around the men in power and their associates. For the first time, an author has written on the upper people while making everything sound a bit casual.
The man does it again and reading the book cannot and never will be regretted.

Arrow of God by Chinua Achebe
Arrow of God

Su'ur Agema, August 4, 2006

The book is a master piece that fully explores the traditions of the Ibos. Achebe's use of proverbs is profound and the way he writes his story is so compelling that you actually feel that what you are reading is reality.
Summarily, the book is a must read for all African students and anyone interested in African traditions.
Kudos to the master of the game, ACHEBE...viva!
