Chinua Achebe has long been regarded as Africa's foremost writer. In this major new study, Jago Morrison offers a comprehensive reassessment of his work as an author, broadcaster, editor and political thinker. With new, historically contextualised readings of all of his major works, this is the first study to view Achebe's oeuvre in its entirety, from Things Fall Apart and the early novels, through the revolutionary Ahiara Declaration - previously attributed to Emeka Ojukwu - to the revealing final works The Education of a British Educated Child and There Was a Country. Contesting previous interpretations which align Achebe too easily with this or that nationalist programme, the book reveals Achebe as a much more troubled figure than critics have habitually assumed. Authoritative and wide-ranging, this book will be essential reading for scholars and students of Achebe's work in the twenty-first century. ;
Stuttgart, Café Rösler, Samstag, den 3. April 2004 (vormittags) – ein Mann trinkt. Ralph Zimmermann ist allein mit sich und dem Alkohol. Oder auch nicht. Bei ihm sind Andy Warhol, Edie Sedgwick, Jim Morrison und nicht zuletzt seine Geliebte Joey. Tot zwar allesamt, aber doch anwesend genug, um einen Stift zumindest auf glatter Fläche ein paar Millimeter rollen zu lassen. Und natürlich, um zu kommentieren, was Ralphi-Ralph erzählt: von sich, seinem Leben, seiner Liebe und seinem eigenen Ausflug ins Totenreich. »Falls es Sie interessiert, was uns nach dem Tod erwartet und was Jim Morrison und Andy Warhol heute so treiben, kommen Sie um diesen Roman nicht herum. Und falls es Sie nicht interessiert, dann sind Sie wahrscheinlich schon tot und haben es nur noch nicht gemerkt.« Denis Scheck in Druckfrisch, ARD
