Chinua Achebe, the author of Things Fall Apart, has died at 82.
It seems most of the authors whose works I assign to students have died; in fact, in my World Literature class, Achebe was the only living author whose work we covered. It makes me sad that he's gone now as well. He was one of the greats.
