@Op, I see u are surprised that a book written by a Nigerian appeared in a foreign movie series. But do u know that the same movie series was actually INSPIRED by the true life story of an American woman who was arrested whilst transporting MONEY for a NIGERIAN DRUG BARON by the name of BURUJI KASHAMU? And do u also know that the character "crazy eyes" was played by an IGBO woman by the name of Uzo Aduba? Oga don't be surprised, ok? Nigerians are actually going places even if u don't know it. |

kraftykc:You are far from understanding literature then. You need a thorough study of Literature. Amaricanah is the best book written by her so far. None comes close. |

Quakertellicus1:Americanah flawed? Lol. Hero and Heroine? Take some lessons in literature then open the book again. That's the greatest fictional work written by an African on Immigration. |

Reyginus: You're right, apart from a Literature degree and years of working with a national daily, I have no experience with literature. Saying its her best work is the strongest indictment of her overhype. 1 Like |

kraftykc:No, it's not. That's her greatest work so far. Writing for National dailies is not writing nonfiction or understanding it. Even some of our local mechanics understand the workings of machines more than some graduates of Mechanical Engineering. |

chiwetel: Nice perspective. I think you are definitely blinded. What i find most ironical about her style of write up is thatshe writes in a way that alienates the rest of the world,a style only a naija born can relate to. And she is particularly fond of "university staff kid life stories"which i can relate to by the way. But i wonder,how do the international community give her the awards when they can barely relate to her perspective... That girl juju strong.......lol 1 Like |
