Why people recommend it
Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe is a classic novel depicting pre-colonial life in Nigeria and the disruptive arrival of European imperialism. The book was discussed in various contexts across multiple podcasts. On The Tim Ferriss Show in May 2021, Jacqueline Novogratz briefly mentioned the novel while discussing influential literature. Charlie Kirk brought up the book on both The Charlie Kirk Show and The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast in April and May 2025, recalling it as an assigned text from his middle school education and characterizing it as an example of pre-woke or anti-colonialist literature. Additionally, Robert Evans referenced the novel on Behind the Bastards in July 2019 during a reading and discussion about modern campus discourse, citing an article that noted how some student groups had advocated for content warnings on classic literature, including Achebe's work and F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, to protect students previously affected by violence or trauma. Across these mentions, the novel served as a notable reference point for discussions ranging from global literature to educational curricula and modern cultural debates surrounding academic trigger warnings.
