This is Chinua Achebe's classic novel, with more than two million copies sold since its first U.S. publication in 1969. Combining a richly African story with the author's keen awareness of the qualities common to all humanity, Achebe here shows that he is "gloriously gifted, with the magic of an ebullient, generous, great talent." -- Nadine Gordimer
OK, I'm not reading it now; I read it in college. I was just thinking of the title while watching the Red Sox-Tigers game. Things fall apart. The center cannot hold.
Got to read it all tonight, followed by two chapters in my textbook and an article from some Harvard professor. After It's time to study for a grammar quiz lol.
