Posted on March 23, 2009 | Comments Off. So, this is a happy blog of happy things. Adichie's The Thing Around Your Neck: A Brief Review. The thing around your neck by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was a gift to myself for successfully managing married life and a job for the first 6 months. Yes, yes, I just need an excuse to buy books. Chimamanda Ngozi is an award winning author whose novels have catapulted her to international fame. In The Thing Around Your Neck, a young girl goes to live in America with her uncle, after winning the Green Card lottery. But you know what is happy-making? Hello, my name is Brianna and I'm reading the book The Thing Around Your Neck because The title caught my attention and it seemed like a good book. It's here to keep myself and Kirsten happy, and also, we hope, to keep other people happy too. Filled with stories from her home country Nigeria and away, this book is an anthology of twelve stories that reflect the experiences from these varied places. When her uncle makes a pass at her, she runs away, and tries to make a life for herself. Because the world is often not a happy place. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie will be in Nigeria in July to promote her new book,The Thing Around Your Neck. Following up two unforgettable novels that earned her a MacArthur Fellows Program "Genius" Award (which comes with a no-strings-attached $500000 "stipend" over five years!) in 2008 was surely going to be hard work. I started reading Adichie's Purple Hibiscus a couple of years back, but given my mental state then, I couldn't stand the distressing nature of the story and abandoned it half-way. The new book by Chimamanda Ngozie Achidie, The Thing Around Your Neck, is rich with references to history, culture and literature. Join Victor Ehikhamenor and Wana as they review Chimamanda's collection of short stories, The Thing Around Your Neck. Reflections: The Thing Around Your Neck.
