Chinua Achebe, a literary icon of the 20th century is widely regarded as Africa’s best novelist to date, and one of the world’s greatest. His narrative style and techniques have given rise to what has been characterized as the African art of the novel. It consists of ingenious indigenization and skillful manipulation of the English language to enable it convey essential and intricate traditional African speech patterns and sensibilities. It also portrays an assertive African cultural voice telling African stories in an African manner. OMENKA is the first of a two volume celebration of this modern African literary tradition which owes its origin to Achebe’s landmark classic novel, Things Fall Apart (1958), which in over 55 languages and with more than 8 million copies in print, is the most widely read African novel, inside and outside the African continent. The essays provide global perspectives of Chinua Achebe as an artist with a proper sense of history and an imaginative writer with an inviolable sense of cultural mission and political commitment. The book is divided into eight parts. Part I consists of eleven essays which discuss authoritatively various aspects of Things Fall Apart, from innovative stylistics to intriguing feminism in the African context, and from cross-cultural dimensions to Igbo cosmology. The four essays in Part II focus on No Longer at Ease, highlighting with intense particularity the artistic and situational significance of this least studied of Achebe’s novels. Part III contains six essays on Arrow of God, ranging from discourse on the duality of the Chief Priest, Ezelu’s personality, to the tragic muse and cultural hero in the novel. There are four essays in Part IV. These examine the various facets of A Man of the People, from political symbolism to Igbo (African) leadership ideals. Part V focuses on Anthills of the Savannah and its five essays argue the woman question and the phenomenon of military dictatorships from intriguingly contrasting perspectives. Part VI consists of two eloquent essays on Achebe’s response to the Nigerian civil war in Girls at War and Other Stories and Beware Soul Brother and Other Poems. Part VII is devoted to the symbolism in Achebe’s short stories, using the "The Mad Man" for precise illustration. The book ends with Part VIII which has four essays focused on the versatile thematic dimensions and artistic dexterity in Achebe’s four books for younger readers.

Chinua Achebe’s influence on contemporary African Literature is as much evident in his art of the novel, as his articulation of African poetics and aesthetics in his extra fictional pronouncements. He is as much the father of the modern African novel, as he is the pioneer theoretician of African literary criticism. Whereas Things Fall Apart established for African creative writers the art of the African novel, such critical essays as "The Role of the Writer in a New Nation," "The African Writer and the English Language," "The Black Writer’s Burden," and "What has Literature got to do with it?," read like conscious blueprints, defining for teachers, readers, and critics of African literature, appropriate directions for objective literary criticism. ISINKA (Igbo term for "artistic purpose") establishes Chinua Achebe’s legacies to African literary criticism over half a century. The book starts with a Prologue followed by thirty highly engaging chapters, and ends with an Epilogue. The chapters are grouped into six parts namely: "Art and Aesthetics," "Igbo Worldview and Christianity," "The Artist in Society," "Visions of History," "African Womanhood," and "Influences." In these essays, literary scholars from various parts of the world, attempt dynamically to assess and establish how much Chinua Achebe’s extra fictional ideas about African Literature or Literature in general, are justified in his own creative works. ISINKA is thus a logical sequel to OMENKA which examined the dimensions of Chinua Achebe’s achievements as Africa’s leading novelist of the 20th century, and "one of the world’s best, dead or alive.", Paperback, Label: Africa World Press, Africa World Press, Product group: Book, Published: 2004-05, Studio: Africa World Press, Sales rank: 4753260.
