This webpage offers text, audio, and commentary for "Marriage is a Short Affair," a short story by Chinua Achebe that is set in colonial Nigeria in the decade before independence, and highlights how the old ways in the countryside, represented by a remote village, clash with the modern ways in the large city of Lagos, specifically as related to arranged versus love-match marriages.
