Description
A critical examination of the engaging voice and multiple stories of
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on war, feminism, art, ideology, hair, complex human identities and
the challenges of multicultural existence.Easily the leading and most engaging voice of her
era and generation, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has bridged gaps and introduced new motifs and
narrative styles which have energized contemporary African fiction since her first novel,
Purple Hibiscus (2003). With Half of a Yellow Sun (2007) and The Thing Around Your Neck -
Short Stories (2009), she established herself as a preeminent story-teller. Americanah
(2013), with ingeniouscraftsmanship addresses the sensitive themes of passionate love,
independence, freedom and moral responsibility with extravagant and versatile narrative
innovations. Through her writings, she has made herself relevant topeople of all ages -
across racial and linguistic boundaries. Her talks, blogs, musings on social media, essays
and commentaries, workshop-mentoring for budding young writers, lecture circuit discourses,
all enrich her imaginativecreativity as they expand and define her mission as a writer.
"e;We Should All be Feminists"e; she proclaimed in an essay, giving feminism
a "e;tweak and twist"e; and suggesting new outlooks in literary theory. Her
contributionsto African, Diasporic and World literatures deserve serious analyses,
commentaries and interpretations, and this Companion to her work critically examines her
creative outputs from her art and ideology, from feminism to war, to matters of myth and
perception, and the challenges of multicultural existence and complex human identities.
