ABOUT THE EVENT
Book on Tap, Phoenixville Public Library’s traveling book discussion group for adults in their 20s and 30s, will meet next on Tuesday, June 30, 7:00 PM, at Molly Maguire’s Irish Restaurant & Pub, 197 Bridge Street, Phoenixville. The group will discuss Chinua Achebe’s classic novel, Things Fall Apart.
Things Fall Apart is the first of three novels in Chinua Achebe’s critically acclaimed African Trilogy. It is a classic narrative about Africa’s cataclysmic encounter with Europe as it establishes a colonial presence on the continent. Told through the fictional experiences of Okonkwo, a wealthy and fearless Igbo warrior of Umuofia in the late 1800s, Things Fall Apart explores one man’s futile resistance to the devaluing of his Igbo traditions by British political and religious forces and his despair as his community capitulates to the powerful new order.
