An Evening With Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
About this Event

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of her generation. Her bestselling novels include Americanah, the Orange Prize-winning Half of a Yellow Sun and Purple Hibiscus. She has collaborated with Beyoncé and has shared stages with Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris, discussing writing and women and power. She became known as a leading feminist thinker after her 2012 TED Talk We Should All Be Feminists went viral for its depiction of real, everyday experiences of gender bias. The talk resonated with millions and later became a bestselling book.

On Tuesday February 24 Adichie will join Intelligence Squared at London’s Barbican Hall to discuss her writing career and the themes of her latest novel, Dream Count. An interlocking story of four women, set in the US and Nigeria, it explores the immigrant experience, mother-daughter relationships, friendship and late motherhood.

In what promises to be an unmissable conversation, Adichie will discuss her newest novel, and share her thoughts on feminism, race, migration and life in Donald Trump’s America. Don't miss this rare opportunity to hear from one of the most influential literary voices of her generation.


All tickets include a paperback copy of Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (RRP £9.99).
