完全没跳出提到在美国的尼日利亚人时脑海中浮现出的关键词 大多数人物仿佛都是脸谱化的幽灵 为了说教而存在
评分The only flaw, if I may, is that there’s too much Adichie in her characters at times. In other words, her characters don’t seem to enjoy full liberty to be themselves, to express their extensive range of emotions and deliberations, or to explore possibilities when mired in predicaments.

评分Adichie虽着重描写尼日利亚的小人物,但从语言风格来说已经非常美国化了。作者很擅长捕捉文化差异带来的冲突,'A Private Experience,'天主教女医生和穆斯林妇女为躲避暴乱共处一室,产生的火花就异常动人;"The Shivering"里面的同性恋者角色也很出彩。但有的故事显得用力过猛,比如"The Arrangers of Marriage"讲移民的身份危机和文化认同露出了说教意味。这本短篇小说集甚至可以看做为《Americanah》做素材积累,“Imitation”中终年辗转于美国和尼日利亚的艺术收藏家丈夫Obiora就跟Obinze有很多性格和处境类似;On Monday of Last Week"里的硕士移民Kamara在美国当保姆的经历也跟Ifemelu有共同之处。

奇玛曼达•恩戈兹•阿迪契1977年出生于尼日利亚南部城市埃努古,父亲是统计学教授,母亲是大学教务。阿迪契起初在尼日利亚大学学习医药学,后转至美国,在东康涅狄格州立大学学习传媒学和政治学,之后在约翰•霍普金斯大学获得创意写作的文学硕士学位。
阿迪契写过诗歌和剧本,并时有短篇小说在文学杂志上发表,多次获奖。2003年,她的首部长篇小说《紫色木槿》(Purple Hibiscus)出版,故事以一个15岁孩子的视角,讲述了20世纪90年代尼日利亚的政治骚乱。小说入围2004年橘子小说奖,并获2005年英联邦作家奖。她的第二部长篇小说《半轮黄日》(Half of a Yellow Sun),讲述的是尼日利亚内战爆发之前和期间的事。小说获2007年橘子小说奖。2010年,阿迪契入选《纽约客》评出的“二十位四十岁以下的小说家”。
From Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the Orange Prize-winning author of Half of a Yellow Sun, come twelve dazzling stories in which she turns her penetrating eye on the ties that bind men and women, parents and children, Nigeria and the West. In 'A Private Experience,' a medical student hides from a violent riot with a poor Muslim woman whose dignity and faith force her to confront the realities and fears she's been pushing away. In 'Tomorrow Is Too Far,' a woman unlocks the devastating secret that surrounds her brother's death. The young mother at the center of 'Imitation' finds her comfortable life threatened when she learns that her husband back in Lagos has moved his mistress into their home. And the title story depicts the choking loneliness of a Nigerian girl who moves to an America that turns out to be nothing like the country she expected; though falling in love brings her desires nearly within reach, a death in her homeland forces her to re-examine them. Searing and profound, suffused with beauty, sorrow and longing, this collection is a resounding confirmation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's prodigious storytelling powers.
I would recommend “The Thing Around Your Neck” in this short-story collection. If you like the idea of “the exotic”, this story will show, once again, that “the exotic” exists nowhere else but in your own mind, and as always, says everything about you...

评分尼日利亚太遥远了,不仅是地理位置的遥远,还有文化心理上的遥远。 我开始“文学带我看世界”这个计划的时候,还大致分了区块,尼日利亚,非洲,西非,西非就有好多国家,我能闭上眼睛想起世界地图上非洲大陆的模样,所以西非大概在哪里,有个大概的印象。我没有去查背景资料,...
