No Longer at Ease is a novel by Nigerian author Chinua Achebe, originally published in 1960. The story follows Obi Okonkwo, grandson of the protagonist of Achebe's first novel, Things Fall Apart, as he struggles to navigate between the traditional culture of his home village and the modern, corrupt society of urban Nigeria. The novel explores themes of identity, colonialism, corruption, and the clash between the past and the present.
Chinua Achebe was a Nigerian novelist, poet, and critic who is regarded as a central figure of modern African literature. His first novel and magnum opus, Things Fall Apart (1958), occupies a pivotal place in African literature and remains the most widely studied, translated, and read African novel. Along with Things Fall Apart, his No Longer at Ease (1960) and Arrow of God (1964) complete the "African Trilogy". Later novels include A Man of the People (1966) and Anthills of the Savannah (1987). Achebe is often referred to as the "father of modern African literature", although he vigorously rejected the characterization.
