Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, a celebrated Nigerian author, marks her return with a new novel after a decade. Her acclaimed works, particularly Half of a Yellow Sun, have won prestigious awards and been adapted into film. The novel explores the Biafran War through the lives of a lecturer, his lover, and a houseboy. In her celebrated essay, The Danger of a Single Story, Adichie emphasizes the importance of diverse narratives, echoing the need to honor multidimensional human experiences.
Power is the ability not just to tell the story of another person, but to make it the definitive story, a flattening of experience that robs people of human complexity and dignity while exaggerating their differences.
Adichie's second novel, Half of a Yellow Sun, not only won the Orange prize for fiction... but also its Winner of Winners in 2020, and was made into a 2013 film.
