Abstract

The Igbo-and-English-speaking Nigerian novelist Chinua Achebe (1930-2013) sensitively portrays the psychodynamics of British colonialism in Nigeria in the related novels Things Fall Apart (1958) and No Longer at Ease (1960). In my 2,638-word review essay ""Chinua Achebe's Novels Things Fall Apart (1958) and No Longer at Ease (1960), and Walter J. Ong's Thought," I draw on the work of the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist and cultural historian and media ecology theorist Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Havard University, 1955) of Saint Louis University to discuss Achebe's two related novels.
