Literature › Re: My Honest Observation And Critique Of Americanah By Chimanda Adichie by slap1(m): 11:14am On Nov 06, 2016

ayosmiles:
Actuallly, there is something deeply wrong with that book even though its my most interesting chinamanda book.

I find the personality of Ifemelu deeply disturbing; no morals, no conscience even snatching another womans husband. She is also very arrogant and childish. Remember that creative writing is a form of media, u are always passing across a message. Anti adichie is telling our young ladies that look up to her that its ok to use men and dump them, its ok to be selfish and date married men and that there is no end to racism.

Ifemelu is also obsessed with pleasure, whatever gives her pleasure, doesnt matter if it hurts anybody, stupid brat. Chai! I hate that girl, but i love the book.

And the question is: Are there no people like Ifemelu? Why should their stories not be told?

This is an almost childish review. Did you expect her story to teach you morals? Go to your church for that. A good storyteller tells it as it is. Not as people want it to be.

I don't think the mod who moved this nonsense to the front page understands literature. This is a big embarrassment for nairaland. This isn't a critique, it is a soulless, ignorant rambling.

OP you clearly are very isolated from what literature is about.

Americanah is a human story. It is a quotidian story that you actually see and read here on nairaland. Nothing in that story is un-African or unbelievable.

People have pre-marital sex, there are baby mamas, lovers cheat, etc. Do you expect her to ignore these and write about crossing seven rivers and seven mountains?

Those who complain she does not portray Africa well are hypocrites. Everything she wrote in that book can be linked to Africa and Africans. Africa is evolving (for good or bad, it doesn't matter). There are African stories about gays and lesbians. They may not be endorsing these things, but they write about them because they happen in Africa, because they are part of our story. African story.

Like I said, it is a human story, not a textbook on civic education. Your post makes no sense, I'm sorry.

Tell her she's becoming too demanding and should please curtail her demands because things are becoming difficult now... If she refuses to understand or she flares up, she's not the one for you.

Tell her on whatsapp if you won't do it one-on-one.
