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.
