good but he doesn't deserve to be read for what he said about Conrad

[Anonymous No.11162518]

You don't have to read it unless you're interested in colonialism, given from an Igbo perspective. It's not bad, has no outstanding qualities besides the perspective.

is it poorly written?

No. It's short and worth the read. High schoolers read this anon, I'm sure you'll manage.

That's about right. It's an odd book, and is quite critical of the traditional Igbo ways, not just of the imposed Christianity and colonial laws.

[Anonymous No.11163467]

All in all, it's worth a read. The narrative doesn't just settle for "we wuz kangz" but actually explores the nature of African colonialism, its humane and inhumane sides.

It's good. If someone discourages you from reading it because the author is African, they're being racist.

It's good. I read it in high school and finished it in one sitting and back then I wasn't that into literature as opposed to now when I pretend that I'm into literature through browsing /lit/ threads and reading meme books.

You should also check out his critique of Conrad.
