Achebe wins Booker Prize for fiction

Yes!!!!!! I love Things Fall Apart. This win is well deserved. Another favorite of mine in Ben Okri. Two GREAT novelists!

Excerpt:
Nigerian novelist Chinua Achebe won the 2007 Man Booker International Prize for fiction Wednesday, beating such celebrated nominees as Philip Roth, Margaret Atwood and Ian McEwan.
