His poem "Vultures" was so difficult for me to read. I thought it was about some vultures who gobble up a lady hiding in a charnel house, while a commandant at Belsen has a BBQ with human roast clinging to his nostrils. Then there's this random glow-worm inside an ogre, who is also in the icy caverns of a cruel heart....
Yeah I was that thick. LOL

"At such times the ancestors of the clan who had been committed to Mother Earth at their death emerged again as egwugwu through tiny ant holes. (Things Fall Apart pg. 186) How do the egwugwu fit through those tiny ant holes?

Have you noticed that Chinua has an East African accent? Could it be years in Makerere?...For me this man beats them all;his stories are authentically evocative of an african village set up.

Correction Moyer's stone face came when Professor Achebe said the missionaries went overboard and it was unnecessary and it damaged the minds of the African people. AGREED!
