  • Summary

  • In this follow-up to our Heart of Darkness episode, we discuss a book written by its most notable critic: Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart. Join us as we discuss the protagonist Okonkwo's many flaws, as well as the story's "universal" themes. Specifically, we cover the individual vs. society, the effects of Christianity on traditional Igbo culture, and the fragility of a seemingly stable social order. Oh, and yams. So many yams.

    For those as eager for the author spotlight to end as Tristan was, analysis of the book starts at 1:02:00.
