Emenyonu.  axii, 300 pages ;c25 cm  aIncludes bibliographical references (pages 259-261) and index.8 aEasily the leading and most engaging voice of her era and generation, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has bridged gaps, introduced new motifs and narrative varieties 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 ingenuous craftsmanship 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 to people 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 imaginative creativity as they expand and define her mission as a writer. "We Should All be Feminists" she proclaimed in an essay, giving feminism a "tweak and twist" and suggesting new outlooks in literary theory.0Her contributions to 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.10aAdichie, Chimamanda Ngozi,d1977-xCriticism and interpretation.17aAdichie, Chimamanda Ngozi,d1977-2fast 7aCriticism, interpretation, etc.2fast1 aEmenyo̲nu, Ernest,d1939-eeditor.  a7bcbcccopycatd2encipf20gy-gencatlg  2lcccAFRICANAhPR9387.9.A34354Z56 2017  00102lcc4070aMUCbMUCcAFRd2020-10-06epurchaseg4490.00l3oPR9387.9.A34354Z56 2017p23300r2025-12-11s2025-12-11w2020-10-06yAFRICANA
