Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s “americanah” Is One Of The New York Times’ 10 Best by tonychristopher: 3:58pm On Dec 16, 2013
Read the short review;

By turns tender and trenchant, Adichie’s third novel takes on the comedy and tragedy of American race relations from the perspective of a young Nigerian immigrant. From the office politics of a hair-braiding salon to the burden of memory, there’s nothing too humble or daunting for this fearless writer, who is so attuned to the various worlds and shifting selves we inhabit — in life and online, in love, as agents and victims of history and the heroes of our own stories.

Other books on the list include Life After Life by Kate Atkinson, The Sleepwalkers by Christopher Clark and Days of Fire by Peter Baker.

Chimamanda made headlines yesterday when she featured in Beyoncé’s new song “***FLAWLESS” from her fifth studio album, BEYONCÉ. (click here to read).
