Never read anything by him. I'd imagine he has some fans around Dave's, though. There was a poster here a few years back, Gopher, who spoke very highly of Things Fall Apart.

Yes, I remember reading "Things Fall Apart". At the time, it seemed comparable to a Greek tragedy. |

I read both "arrow of God" and "things fall apart".
He provided a unique fresh perspective but his style lacked charm i think. |
