This article studies the use of Igbo language and cosmology in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart. It analyses how, by making the Igbo language and culture share the literary space with the narratorial English, Achebe un-silences and centers indigenous voices in his novel. It shows how Achebe challenges a Western-centered hermeneutic of life as he captures and realizes, on the page, the world as it is for the Igbo. Looking at the plurilingual capabilities of both the narrator and the characters, this paper analyzes how a local Igbo fabulation leads to a worldwide celebration.
