After reading Achebe’s obituary, I explain to students that before Achebe wrote his novel, Polish author Joseph Conrad wrote Heart of Darkness, a short novel or novella about a white man named Marlow who captains a steamboat down the Congo river.
Read excerpt from Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad (from top to page 84).
Explain how Achebe, a Nigerian writer, felt Conrad’s work was racist, which led him to write Things Fall Apart. For this reason, we group-read this excerpt from Heart of Darkness.
