"Until the lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter" Chinua Achebe. The Roots Things Fall Apart album takes its title from Chinua Achebe's novel of the same name written in 1958. The story's main theme concerns pre- and post-colonial life in late nineteenth century Nigeria. It is seen as the archetypal modern African novel in English, one of the first to receive global critical acclaim. It was his first novel. He was 28. The album Things Fall Apart has been considered by music writers as The Roots's breakthrough album, earning praise from major publications and critics, while becoming the group's first record to sell over 500,000 copies and was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album The great author, novelist and literary master’s birthday is celebrated today.
