Chinua Achebe: 1930-2013
"A great tree has fallen." -Corey D.B. Walker, chair of Africana studies
Chinua Achebe, the David and Marianna Fisher University professor and professor of Africana studies at Brown University, died in Boston Thursday evening, March 21, 2013. Achebe, among the world's greatest writers of his time, joined the Brown faculty in the fall of 2009. "The colloquia he organized at Brown attracted a grand array of guests and effectively demonstrated how the humanities can build understanding by drawing from and encouraging a variety of perspectives," said Brown University President Christina H. Paxson. "We were honored to have him among us" news.brown.edu/pressreleases/...

Things Fall Apart one of the greatest novels I ever read- from Pakistan
First novels I ever read, Things fall apart, no longer at ease, best novels I’ve ever read.

My hero, my icon, my model - Chinua Achebe. Thank you for the gift of you.
Not a great tree fell. A star whose place is on the heaven . He rose to occupy that space that he richly deserved.
