The
novel “Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, while often thought to
offer readers an accurate portrait of Igbo or African culture in
general, often does not effectively represent the culture it seeks to
portray. More generally, one of the challenges of the fiction genre, and
of the frequent criticisms lodged against it, is the manner in which
history, people, and place are integrated into the narrative. Writing a
fictive narrative that is based on real people, places, and events poses
some inherent dangers, not the least of which is the possibility of
inaccurate or partial representation of Igbo culture.
This is particularly true for novelists who are writing about
non-Western cultures for Western audiences. Such is the case in “Things
Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, in which the author writes about members
of a Nigerian tribe.
