It is the weaving of the personal into the bigger picture that makes Home and Exile so remarkable and affecting. It's the closest we are likely to get by way of.

The book, republished abroad for the first time after three decades of its initial publication by a small press in Nigeria, is part of the corpus of four books for children produced by the author whose bestselling novel 29 30 This epithet is from the title of a book by Tijan M.

A shorter version of this tribute had been published in The News magazine (), and reproduced online by Nigeria Village Square portal with the title “A Glimpse of Prof. Chinua Achebe through the Power of Personal Experience” at 200 Nokoko 3 2013 Things Fall Apart somewhat overshadowed the rest of his masterpieces. The other children’s books are How the Leopard Got His Claws (with John Iroaganachi,1972), The Flute (1977), and The Drum (1977). But so overpowering has been the success of Things Fall Apart that the author’s exceptional achievements as a writer of children’s stories, short stories (Girls at War and Other Stories, 1973), and award-winning poetry are hardly mentioned in discussions of his enviable stature as “Father of African Literature” – a title that he continued to reject with characteristic self-effacement. Beyond his already documented protestations against the title, I witnessed Achebe ‘award’ the title to an older contemporary. We were at a meeting at Brown University discussing the organization of an event, “Conversations in Africana: Voice and Memory in Poetic Imagination,”31 moderated by me. It featured Achebe himself, former poet laureate of Louisiana Brenda Marie Osbey, and Gabriel Okara, nonagenarian poet and one of the oldest writers alive.

Professor Achebe, happy that his abiding desire to share the stage with Gabriel Okara, whose work he admired greatly, was coming into fruition, said to me between his trademark soft smiles and verbal play: “People often call me the Father of African literature; the title should actually go to Dr. Gabriel Okara. He is our father.” Yet the evidence of literary history supports the ascription of the appellation “Father of African Literature” to Achebe.

Chinua Achebe's emergence as 'the founding father of African literature. In the English language,' in the words of the Harvard University philosopher K. Anthony Appiah, could very well be traced to his encounter in the early fifties with Joyce Cary's novel Mister Johnson, set in Achebe's native Nigeria. Achebe read it while studying at the University College in Idaban during the last years of British colonial rule, and in a curriculum full of Shakespeare, Coleridge, and Wordsworth, Mister Johnson stood out as one of the few books about Africa. Time magazine had recently declared Mister Johnson the 'best book ever written about Africa,' but Achebe and his classmates had quite a different reaction. The students saw the Nigerian hero as an 'embarrassing nitwit,' as Achebe writes in his new book, and detected in the Irish author's descriptions of Nigerians 'an undertow of uncharitableness. A contagion of distaste, hatred, and mockery.'

Mister Johnson, Achebe writes, 'open[ed] my eyes to the fact that my home was under attack and that my home was not merely a house or a town but, more importantly, an awakening story.' Home and Exile, which grew out of three lectures Achebe gave at Harvard in 1998, describes this transition to a new era in literature. The book is both a kind of autobiography and a rumination on the power stories have to create a sense of dispossession or to confer strength, depending on who is wielding the pen. Achebe depicts his gradual realization that Mister Johnson was just one in a long line of books written by Westerners that presented Africans to the world in a way that Africans didn't agree with or recognize, and he examines the 'process of 're-storying' peoples who had been knocked silent by all kinds of dispossession.' He ends with a hope for the twenty-first century—that this 're-storying' will continue and will eventually result in a 'balance of stories among the world's peoples.'
