2. No Longer at Ease: This novel, published in 1960, was also written by Chinua Achebe. It serves as the second work in his famous African Trilogy.
3. An Image of Africa: Officially titled "An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness'", this is a highly influential post-colonial lecture and essay published by Chinua Achebe in 1977.
4. Weep not, Child: This celebrated historical novel, published in 1964, was written by the Kenyan author Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o (initially published under the name James Ngugi), not by Chinua Achebe.
