Chinua Achebe - A Literary Giant
Chinua Achebe, a truly significant figure among authors, was a Nigerian novelist whose stories really helped people get a sense of what it was like when Western ways started to change things in Africa. He was someone who showed the sometimes confusing and upsetting feelings that came with these big shifts, doing so in a way that was very honest and straightforward. His writings gave a voice to experiences that many people around the globe might not have fully grasped before, offering a clear window into those times.
Many folks first got to know his writing when his book, *Things Fall Apart*, came out in 1958
