One of Nigeria famous writer,
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s book
“Americanah” has won a novel all
New Yorkers should read at once.
The books tells the story of lovers
Ifemelu and Obinze, who depart
Nigeria for the West. The book was
just announced the winner of the “One
Book, One New York” contest in which
Newyorkers voted for a book they
want the whole city to read together
.
Chimamanda said, “I was very
pleased to win, particularly because
New York is America’s cultural beating
heart, and my book was on a list of
other really good books from writers I
admire.”
She said the novel from 2013,
“feels newly topical to me.”
Chimamanda has also inspired a Dior
fashion show, and her TED talk was
sampled by Beyoncé on the song
“Flawless.”
“Americanah” is being developed into
a movie or TV series with Lupita
Nyong’o.
Chimamanda said, “I am very excited
that Lupita is going to play Ifemelu.
She got the rights to the novel very
early and she just connected to the
story. It might
possibly be a TV series . . . which I am
very excited about because it is
difficult to condense a book into a
two-hour film.”
The “One Book, One New York,”
campaign is being spearheaded by
Mayor’s Office of Media and
Entertainment Commissioner Julie
Menin.
“This is the first year we’ve done this
program,” Menin said. “We had close
to 50,000 votes, and we are delighted
with the enthusiasm. We are really
trying t engage New Yorkers and have
a common discussion.”
