PROMPT:

for this week, please think about Achebe's form and his audience. Is Ngugi right when he criticizes Achebe for writing Afro-European fiction? Can you detect something in the novel which might clue you in to who Achebe's audience is (Nigerian or European/Western)? Also, is the use of Igbo stories, songs, poetry, proverbs, and culture done for the benefit of European/Western readers or for the benefit of African ones? How do we know? Please be sure to use a clear example which supports your point of view.
