Saturday, July 11th 2009. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was at the Silverbird Galleria, Lagos, Nigeria to promote her new book, The Thing Around Your Neck. Published locally by Farafina Books, The Thing Around Your Neck is a collection of short stories exploring the ties that bind men and women, parents and children, Africa and the United States. Searing and profound, suffused with beauty, sorrow, and longing, these stories map, with Adichie’s signature wisdom, the collision of cultures and the deeply human struggle to reconcile them.
Award-winning author of Purple Hibiscus and Half of a Yellow Sun, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has been described as “the 21st century daughter of Chinua Achebe”. The author entertained questions from the crowd about her book, writing and the burden of being slowly identified as Chinua Achebe’s heir(ess).
The event also marked the launch of Farafina Week, a week-long celebration of Farafina Books, offering the best in contemporary African literature, at the Silverbird Lifestyle Store.
