Some people were angry that Chinua Achebe chose to write the book in English as opposed to Igbo. Others were pleased that it was written in English as they would have been otherwise unable to read it.

Publisher

The publishers originally did not want such a book as there was deemed to be no market for African literature written by African authors. However, the book was deemed to be of such high quality, that it was picked up by a London publishing company.

Worldwide

The book has sold more than 8 million copies worldwide, and has recently had a 50th anniversary mass reprinting.
