Podcast appearances and mentions of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Long before he became a bestselling writer, Ocean Vuong sold rotisserie chickens at Boston Market. In his latest novel, The Emperor of Gladness, he explores the meaning that can be found in the daily grind of a fast food restaurant. The book follows a young addict named Hai as he unexpectedly becomes caretaker to an elderly woman and makes unlikely connections at the fast-food restaurant where he works. Ocean tells Mattea Roach about challenging the American Dream, how being raised by women shaped him and why this novel is his most self indulgent yet. If you enjoyed this conversation, check out these episodes:Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's triumphant return to fictionTeresa Wong: Illustrating her family's past — in all its ordinary and epic moments

Jennifer Khakshouri, Adriana Altaras, Philipp Tingler und als Gast Psychotherapeutin Felizitas Ambauen diskutieren über «Bartleby, der Schreiber» von Herman Melville, «Dream Count» von Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, «Das Lieben danach» von Helene Bracht sowie über «See der Schöpfung» von Rachel Kushner. «I would prefer not to» oder «Ich möchte lieber nicht»: Mit diesem Satz hat sich ein Büroangestellter namens Bartleby in der Literaturgeschichte verewigt. Mit seiner Neinsager-Geschichte «Bartleby, der Schreiber» hat der englische Romancier Herman Melville neben «Moby Dick» einen zweiten Klassiker erschaffen. Angesichts der heutigen Suche nach Work-Life-Balance und Resilienz scheint dieser höchst aktuell. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie ist ein Weltstar der Literatur. Ihr Roman «Americanah» über eine Frau, die in mehreren Kulturen gleichzeitig lebt, war ein internationaler Erfolg. Nun ist ihr lang erwarteter zweiter Roman «Dream Count» erschienen. Aus der Perspektive von vier Frauen um die 40 schreibt sie über Freundschaft, Selbstbestimmung und Afrika-Klischees. Mit 70 Jahren hat die Psychologin Helene Bracht ihr literarisches Debüt veröffentlicht. Fast ein ganzes Leben hat sie gebraucht, um sich dem Trauma ihrer Kindheit anzunähern: Im Memoir «Das Lieben danach» erzählt sie, wie sie von ihrem Nachhilfelehrer sexuell missbraucht wurde. Helene Bracht beschreibt offen und ungeschönt, welche Spuren dies in ihrem Liebesleben und ihrer Körperlichkeit hinterlassen hat. Die US-amerikanische Autorin Rachel Kushner hat mit «See der Schöpfung» einen Spionageroman mit philosophischem Tiefgang geschrieben. Eine Agentin hat den Auftrag, sich in eine Gemeinschaft von radikalen Umweltaktivisten einzuschleusen. Packend und intellektuell herausfordernd umkreist sie relevante Themen wie den Kampf um Wasserressourcen und Kapitalismuskritik. Die Bücher der Sendung sind: – Herman Melville: «Bartleby, der Schreiber» (Kampa); – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: «Dream Count» (S. Fischer); – Helene Bracht: «Das Lieben danach» (Hanser); und – Rachel Kushner: «See der Schöpfung» (Rowohlt). Gast der Sendung ist die Psychotherapeutin und Podcasterin Felizitas Ambauen.

durée : 00:07:41 - "L'inventaire des rêves" de Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

A week after the meltdown of markets everywhere and Trump's sudden pause on most new tariffs for 90 days - with the exception of China, economists say the trade war is still on, the damage has already been done and the likelihood of a recession remains. Long time allies now view America with suspicion and trust has been badly damaged. To contextualize what this moment means for America, Christiane spoke to renowned global historian Peter Frankopan. Then to find out how Beijing is viewing the Trump administration's actions, Christiane talked to Li Yuan who covers China and its foreign relations for the New York Times. Also, CNN's Jeremy Diamond reports on one IDF soldier who is blowing the whistle on a policy to purposely destroy everything in a massive buffer zone inside Gaza and even make it a kill zone. Afterwards, award-winning author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie speaks to Christiane about her new novel "Dream Count" - a tale of love, loss and female solidarity. Then, as Rwanda commemorates 31 years since the genocide there, Christiane revisits her 1994 report on the biblical retribution that befell the Hutu killers who were struck by a plague-like outbreak of cholera after fleeing Rwanda for neighboring countries. And finally, as "The Great Gatsby" turns 100, why it retains its relevance all these years later.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

After a ten-year hiatus, activist and award-winning author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has released a new novel Dream Count. Set across America and Nigeria, it tells of four women linked by friendship, reckoning with their shared loves, regrets and desires.

Today's episode looks a lot like the last one. Again, I wanted to dive deeper into one of our Book Club selections and in March, we read “Dream Count” by the Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. In this episode, we look at her biography, at this specific novel, and how it fits into her wider work. If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review and follow me on Instagram (@litwithcharles) to keep the literary conversations going. Let's get more people listening - and reading!

African Literature and US Empire Postcolonial Optimism in Nigerian and South African Writing (Edinburgh UP, 2024) demonstrates how African literature grapples with the enforced optimism of US empire that circulates in postcolonial nations: Unsettles chronologies that chart a growing disillusionment with the postcolonial nation and national development across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries Brings together African literary studies, affect studies, and U.S. empire studies Diagnoses and critiques how U.S. empire is sustained through cycles of optimism and disappointment Includes chapters on both classic postcolonial fiction by writers such as Buchi Emecheta and Miriam Tlali and recent anglophone African novels by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Ekow Duker Postcolonialism has long been associated with post-nationalism. Yet, the persistence of nation-oriented literatures from within the African postcolony and its diasporas registers how dreams of national becoming endure. In this fascinating new study, Hallemeier brings together African literary studies, affect studies and US empire studies, to challenge chronologies that chart a growing disillusionment with the postcolonial nation and national development across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The Nigerian and South African writings in African Literature and US Empire, while often attuned to the trans- and extra- national, repeatedly scrutinize why visions of national exceptionalism, signified by a ‘pan-African' Nigeria and ‘new' South Africa, remain stubbornly affecting, despite decades of disillusionment with national governments beholden to a neocolonial global order. In these fictions, optimistic forms of nationalism cannot be reduced to easily critiqued state-sanctioned discourses of renewal and development. They are also circulated through experiences of embodied need, quotidian aspiration and transnational, pan-African relationship. Learn more about your ad choices.

A California Proposition was supposed to curb petty theft and drug abuse. Already, the proposed solution seems to be offering more problems than it's helping to fix.

From the bestselling and award-winning author of Americanah and We Should All Be Feminists comes Dream Count, the story of four women and their loves, longings, and desires. The novel reflects on the choices we make and those that are made for us, on daughters and mothers, and on our interconnected world. In conversation with Glory Edim, the founder of Well-Read Black Girl, a literary community dedicated to Black women, and the author most recently of Gather Me: A Memoir in Praise of the Books That Saved Me. This program was held on March 12, 2025 in partnership with Politics and Prose. 

L'Express a interrogé cette semaine, Dmytro Kouleba, ancien ministre ukrainien des Affaires étrangères, il l'était jusqu'en septembre 2024. Un œil avisé auquel l'hebdomadaire a demandé son « analyse sur les négociations en vue d'un cessez-le-feu avec la Russie ». Un œil avisé, et guère optimiste : « s'il l'emporte », dit-il, « Poutine n'aura aucune pitié pour un pays qui a osé lui résister ». « En réalité », ajoute l'ancien ministre, « Poutine n'a pas besoin d'un cessez-le-feu : il veut mettre fin à cette guerre à ses conditions ». Dmytro Kouleba précise aussi qu'il fait partie « d'un courant qui juge que le Kremlin ne veut pas seulement un morceau de territoire, mais toute l'Ukraine. Et que ses ambitions ne s'arrêtent pas en Ukraine, mais concernent aussi l'Europe ». Et l'ancien ministre n'y va pas par quatre chemins. « Bien sûr », dit-il, « on aura du mal à faire croire aux Français que l'armée russe va franchir leurs frontières demain et marcher sur Paris (…) Mais ils peuvent se réveiller un matin et découvrir que des infrastructures cruciales de leur pays (centrales nucléaires, gares ferroviaires, ou encore bases militaires) ont été frappées par des drones à longue portée non identifiés. La Russie dira que ce n'est pas elle. C'est ainsi que la guerre pourrait démarrer ».  InéligibilitéEn France, Marine Le Pen est à la veille d'un jugement décisif. C'est en effet demain que la cheffe du Rassemblement national sera fixée sur son sort, dans l'affaire des assistants parlementaires européens du Front national. « Menacée d'inéligibilité, elle joue son avenir politique », annonce la Tribune Dimanche, à qui Marine le Pen a confié qu'elle n'était « pas fébrile », tout en ajoutant « qu'avec l'exécution provisoire, les juges ont le droit de vie ou de mort sur le Rassemblement National ».  Avec l'exécution provisoire de sa peine, Marine Le Pen deviendrait en effet inéligible, y compris pour la prochaine élection présidentielle en 2027, pour laquelle elle fait souvent figure de favorite. Le Journal du Dimanche publie d'ailleurs un sondage la créditant « de 37 % d'intentions de vote dans l'hypothèse la plus favorable, soit 10 points de plus que son score du premier tour en 2022 ». Dans son éditorial pour la Tribune Dimanche, Bruno Jeudy s'interroge : « n'est-il pas hasardeux, voire périlleux, de confier à des juges le soin de déterminer la capacité de tel ou tel candidat à se présenter devant les électeurs ? »  Et « la tourmente judiciaire ne concerne pas la seule Marine Le Pen », remarque Bruno Jeudy. Cette semaine « la foudre s'est abattue sur Nicolas Sarkozy, avec les 7 ans de prison requis pour le financement de sa campagne présidentielle de 2007 par le pouvoir libyen de Kadhafi ».La loi du plus fortLa justice française remise en cause, mais le Nouvel Obs prend sa défense…« Elle monte, elle monte, la petite musique anti-juges. Elle devient même assourdissante à mesure que le bruit de fond autoritaire s'impose toujours plus dans nos démocraties », estime Cécile Prieur dans son éditorial. « Plus une semaine sans qu'une décision judiciaire ne soit conspuée sur les plateaux de télé, sans que le nom d'un magistrat ne soit jeté en pâture sur les réseaux sociaux, sans que des menaces ne soient proférées dans les tribunaux ». « Or », poursuit Cécile Prieur, « contester le bien-fondé du travail des juges au nom de la souveraineté populaire, c'est saper la séparation des pouvoirs – l'un des piliers de notre démocratie, c'est prétendre que l'élection prime sur toute autre légitimité, c'est favoriser la loi du plus fort ». Le Nouvel Obs a recueilli les propos d'un juge plein de colère. « Taper sur la justice est devenu un sport national », dit-il. « Plus haut, plus fort et personne ne bouge ». Au sujet de l'affaire Marine Le Pen, ce magistrat ne se fait guère d'illusions. « Quoi qu'il arrive, on va encore s'en prendre plein la gueule ».Nafissatou DialloEnfin, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie publie un nouveau livre. « Plus de dix ans après Americanah », annonce le Nouvel Obs « l'écrivaine nigériane revient à la fiction avec un grand roman sur les rêves empêchés de quatre femmes, dont l'une est inspirée de Nafissatou Diallo qui avait accusé Dominique Strauss-Kahn d'agression sexuelle ». « Quand j'ai entendu parler de cette femme de chambre guinéenne », raconte Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, « j'ai immédiatement ressenti une connexion. Une femme d'Afrique de l'Ouest, vivant aux États-Unis, cela m'était familier. J'avais l'impression de la connaître, de la comprendre. J'ai suivi l'affaire Strauss-Kahn de très près, frappée par le gouffre presque dramatique, entre elle et lui, en termes de pouvoir ».  « Mon rêve est qu'elle obtienne justice », ajoute l'écrivaine nigériane, « Mais cela n'arrivera probablement jamais ». « En tout cas », précise Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie « l'idée même d'humaniser un personnage par le biais de la fiction consiste à lui rendre sa dignité. Je ne parle pas seulement de Nafissatou Diallo. Il s'agit de rendre leur dignité aux femmes du monde entier qui ont été déshumanisées parce qu'elles n'ont pas de pouvoir ».

Renata Hopkins from Scorpio Books in Christchurch reviews Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie published by Fourth Estate

Our guest today is writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, revered in her home country of Nigeria and in the United States, thanks especially to the popularity of her 2013 novel Americannah, a book that straddles the cultures of America and Nigeria and considers the challenges, status, and perceptions of Africans abroad. Since then, Adichie has continued to write fiction and essays on a range of issues, from identity, to grief, to the role of women. Her Ted Talk, “We Should All Be Feminists,” has been viewed by millions and heard by even more when Beyonce sampled a portion in the song, “Flawless.”  Adichie is also the author of the novels Half of a Yellow Sun and Purple Hibiscus, the essays We Should All Be Feminists and Notes on Grief, and the story collection The Thing Around Your Neck.On March 7, 2025, Adchie came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to discuss her new novel, Dream Count, with Anna Malaika Tubbs, author of “Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden from Us”, to be published in May 2025.

Die norwegische Bestsellerautorin Maja Lunde führt uns in ihrem neuen Roman "Für immer" vor, dass in der Literatur nichts unmöglich ist. Darin steht die Zeit still: die Menschen sind unsterblich. Doch was als Traum beginnt, wird bald zu einem bedrohlichen Szenario. "Unmöglich" scheinen auch die Begegnungen, von denen der Historiker Andreas Hoffmann erzählt. Sein Buch handelt von Menschen unterschiedlichster, oft konträrer Lebenseinstellungen, die miteinander ins Gespräch kamen. Im Gespräch in dieser Sendung außerdem: Volker Kutscher über "Die Allee", Florentine Anders Roman über die Familie ihres Großvaters, des DDR-Stararchitekten Hermann Henselmann. Und Anne-Dore Krohn, die den neuen Roman von Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie vorstellt: "Dream Count".

It's a tough time to try and express the complexity of life honestly. Writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie doesn't shy away from truth-telling and believes we should all step up and do more of it. She thinks there's more of a political “middle” in the general public than is generally represented in media, and she keeps that group in mind in her work. An essayist, poet and novelist, Adichie published her first novel in 12 years, “Dream Count,” on March 4, 2025. Last summer, she joined podcast host Kelly Corrigan of “Kelly Corrigan Wonders” on stage for the closing session of the 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival. The two meandered through polarization, cancel culture, grief and parental love in a heartfelt conversation. aspenideas.org

Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie hasn't published a novel in more than a decade. After writing literary hits like Americanah and essays like the popular We Should All Be Feminists, the author says she went through a period of writer's block. But now, she's out with a new novel Dream Count that tells the stories of four interconnected women. In today's episode, Adichie speaks with NPR's Michel Martin about a phrase that lodged itself in the author's mind and ultimately served as the book's first line. They also talk about a loss that caused Adichie to question how well she knew herself and a real-life sexual assault case that inspired her to write one of the novel's central characters.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 5, 2025 is: askew • uh-SKYOO • adjective Askew means “not straight” or “at an angle,” and can be used as both an adjective and an adverb. // The picture on the cabin wall was slightly askew. // The picture was hung askew on the cabin wall. See the entry > Examples: “I reread ‘Biography of Nigeria's Foremost Professor of Statistics, Prof. James Nwoye Adichie,' by Emeritus Professor Alex Animalu, Professor Peter I. Uche, and Jeff Unaegbu, published in 2013, three years before my father was made professor emeritus of the University of Nigeria. The printing is uneven, the pages slightly askew, but I feel a euphoric rush of gratitude to the authors. Why does this line—‘the children and I adore him'—from my mother's tribute soothe me so; why does it feel pacifying and prophetic? It pleases me that it exists, forever declared in print.” — Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, The New Yorker, 10 Sept. 2020 Did you know? If you watch enough nature documentaries you may notice that gazelles are able to escape the claws (and, subsequently, jaws) of cheetahs when they zigzag across the savannah rather than simply run in a straight line. In Middle English, prey outmaneuvering a predator in this way might be said to be “skewing.” Skew means both “to take an oblique course” (as it does in modern English too) as well as “to escape,” and comes from the Anglo-French word eschiver, meaning “to escape or avoid.” It's this skew, with its suggestion of crooked lines, that forms the basis of the adjective askew (the prefix a- means “in [such] a state or condition”). Askew is used as both an adjective and an adverb to describe things or actions that are a little off, not straight, or at an angle. The “escape” sense of the Middle English skew isn't so much implied by askew, but we suppose that a painting hanging askew on one's wall could be, metaphorically speaking, attempting to escape from the rest of the décor.

When you've waited ten years for a new novel from one of the world's literary luminaries, you want to know as much as you can from the author. We were delighted to sit down and speak with Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie about her new novel, Dream Count, to find out why it took a decade to finish, what binds its four female characters, and what in turn connects them to her readers.

Our guest today is Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Her books include Half of a Yellow Sun, The Thing Around Your Neck, and the 2013 novel Americannah, whose popularity propelled Adichie to literary stardom. Like Adichie herself, Americannah straddles the cultures of America and Nigeria, considering the status and perceptions of Africans abroad as well as what happens when they return to their home countries.  This month, Adichie will publish a new novel, Dream Count. As we look ahead to that, and Adichie's upcoming visit to City Arts & Lectures, we're re-broadcasting this 2014 conversation with her friend and fellow writer Dave Eggers.
