In Conversation with Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie - Excerpt
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is the author of Purple Hibiscus (2003), Half of a Yellow Sun (2006) and The Thing Around Your Neck (2009). Born in Enugu, Nigeria and brought up in the University town of Nsukka, her writings approach race, gender and identity with a distinctly perceptive style. Her works are deeply connected to Nigeria, articulating different experiences and producing a complex impression of history and violence. She is the recipient of numerous awards such as the 2005 Commonwealth Writers' Prize and the Orange Prize for fiction in 2007. She also received the MacArthur Foundation Fellowship in 2008. In this interview with Tehelka, she talks about 'literature as a big house with many rooms', the difference between hostile racism and general ignorance and what teaching has taught her.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie with Binyavanga Wainaina, 28 Sept 2011
The entire reading and conversation is at our website: podcast.lannan.org "We do not usually associate wisdom with beginners, but here is a new writer endowed with the gift of ancient storytellers. She is fearless, or she would not have taken on the intimidating horror of Nigeria's civil war. Adichie came almost fully made." Chinua Achebe "An immense achievement. As well as freshly re-creating this nightmarish chapter in her country's history, she writes about the slow process by which love, if strong enough, may overcome." The Observer (London)
