Hello, list-- I wanted to ask after the common charge that Achebe called for
Heart of Darkness -not- to be read after his 1975 lecture "An Image of
Africa." In the lecture, he actually calls for new readings of the novel,
but I'm not sure whether or not he uses harsher terms or changes his
position later. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!


All the best,
Christopher Fan
