Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: The Interview

Summary

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a global cultural figure. Named one of Time magazine's 50 most influential people, her latest novel delivers one of the most hotly anticipated returns to writing in recent years. In this interview she talks to Emma Barnett about the rapidly shifting political and cultural landscape of Trump's America and explores motherhood, identity and what writing means to her, after a decade away

Review

Paul Whitelaw

The great Nigerian author and activist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a feminist icon, whose work continues to have a profound impact all around the world. Renowned for such ground-breaking and best- selling novels as Purple Hibiscus, Half of a Yellow Sun and Americanah, as well as the essay compendium/ hugely popular TED Talk We Should All Be Feminists, she’s undoubtedly one of the most significant literary figures of her generation. She’s also had a hit record; super-fan Beyoncé sampled parts of Adichie’s TED Talk in her 2013 track Flawless, thus introducing her teachings to a whole new audience. Adichie will be discussing all of that and more in this exclusive interview.
