Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Today's Quote

So, you understand context!

Things Fall Apart could this be written to a greater acclaim but it won't be about Okonkwo. It can be about Lumumba or Sankara or Achebe. A Man of the People be Peter Obi!

Oga TF,

 

I am of the opinion that the popularity of literary productions are somehow dependent on the time they appear on the scene. A literary production about apartheid now for example, may not  receive as much attention as it would have done in the 1970s and 1980s, inspite of how qualitative such productions are.

If "Things Fall Apart" and other creative works produced in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s were written in the 1990s and 2020s, they probably wouldn't have been as acclaimed as they are.
