Bethesda Reads Book Discussion Club

Connie Morella Library

Interested in joining? The Book Club meets the second Thursday of each month from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm, meeting room 2. We'll talk over the book "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe.

The book chosen for this month's discussion is "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe. This 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 andreligious forces and his despair as his community capitulates to the powerful new order. 

Copies of this book will be available at the check out desk, while supplies last.
