**From one of the greatest writers of the modern era, an intimate and essential collection of personal essays on home, identity, and colonialism** Chinua Achebe’s characteristically eloquent and nuanced voice is everywhere present in these seventeen beautifully written pieces. From a vivid portrait of growing up in colonial Nigeria to considerations on the African-American Diaspora, from a glimpse into his extraordinary family life and his thoughts on the potent symbolism of President Obama’s elections—this charmingly personal, intellectually disciplined, and steadfastly wise collection is an indispensable addition to the remarkable Achebe oeuvre.

No other author places as much of a high powered lens on the uncomfortable topics of race, colonialization, oppression, and reconciliation like Achebe. The West owes him a great deal of gratitude, for being able to present these topics that no one else wants to deal with, in an exquisite, narrative style, that is both educational, and, fundamentally hopeful, for our rapidly changing world. An instant classic that should be required reading!
