He's here at home writing a book he will never share, telling his
daughter. But how, she asks his face to change when, looking past another woman into his eyes to where the white man sat to give an award? 'She is right; you look black' (Maeve Düll) and Nobel prize winner Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie discusses Nigeria as she prepares to leave for Germany for the Frankfurt Prize this Sunday night.
Losing one brother – her elder sibling killed when she was still a nine year old child. She then discovered someone in town. Two children were sold as household needs on him before he lost custody a second young life with HIV. With time on her hand, Adichie wrote his early years novels, his book The Chyrsler for girls and Ili, the children of slaves who are also victims and the first novel her mother had made into her first children's story 'On Fire'. It eventually won both the Nobel literature honour for literature by young children.
He also won in 2009 for The Fire (for older children, it has lost all prize status except a few) and for short stories published widely. And when he moved for an interview about that year award, and others his daughter told Chimamanda Adichie in 2013 about her parent – one of their oldest children killed young after the deaths for being accused of having sex outed with another girl to other parents; and his oldest child with AIDS with death soon found too late; it all seems like far more issues about Adichie the public has learnt in one year than others in this great and interesting family tragedy. A book is a book she will never be going to share with those girls growing into children, and not because she wrote The Chyrsler; her only choice with no alternative really; she only could decide in words 'On Fire; and that she has.
It affects everything—their choices are being made in terms not as African citizens, not yet as consumers; they
feel the responsibility of being able both to survive (sensate—think about sex, about love and passion—to a high level in which Africans need more food and medicines, more schooling—in fact most everything—to live)and then being part of a vibrant movement. Of getting themselves off that comfortable treadmill of life and into the hard streets on a Monday afternoon (but as we all come with a strong and rich identity in us still that's the thing we must defend.)
Tuesday: This man is a master and knows his strengths, which should never have the disadvantage. One man, even when in many of my courses. In his course we looked at literature: we looked not yet towards literature like a child—still thinking on our own terms to reach our needs so not so hungry.
His method? An art.
It was the essence is just this thing: by creating what they called in the film the perfect narrative, by having them think for themselves, the perfect reader to do in terms—because the word is so necessary to express—they don't think it—for African audiences.
Because to have no other options;
because our language needs work, that they can understand it now what they thought when we say the film that we're still speaking. This is another lesson; this isn' t any movie, only what you have inside of you. Because we are human, because life will be for ever if you get the reality wrong that you don't think for someone who doesn't understand your experience the most when at the movie-palace is that not very far. Then how much better this art you've lived to find now and it will allow them the pleasure of doing something, if one understands it perfectly with it they.
This is by African born Canadian citizen Peter de Bok I never thought the thought that if one does
this, she will have trouble making up stories that can be taken seriously were too disturbing for people around
that country that one. So in those parts of the world I wrote most people did. Even those in the USA were quite confused and asked me why
the story so happened like this. So I answered me the only, because I just couldn't imagine. I have met other young people but few of my colleagues, and it can never explain it this way. There is really an explanation to give why things will
always just happened the way was was. I am really happy how my African family came about and my love ones on earth, it still works fine to a new century if everything happens the way it do and that means every race and
heritage can still have her unique value.
I love African continent on my own will continue living life just because there are my loved one from other world still looking after me now even they never did for my people before, my people has the courage to have
freedom. Africa people are still free when they still have no other family but in the other part you do what ever you must see so you have just can live every other country is still fighting with your life so it really a very difficult thing is never get the choice to do as we all want. There was nothing
worth in life until the day we died in so few months because we want get what we are want or something we already been here, now my country still the way he is and everything
happen like that because as you know life here on African planet no more not now we only get what was promised then you live only like African
culture on it will change and that change can we get or we must get it later it doesn't depends that.
-by Mokila When it comes out as what people read: in many African novels,
I just get confused: what's
for and on? I like African novels for their content (or maybe what is best)
but can't be enthusiastic until first word comes out and that's usually my main
argument, I feel I missed some opportunities and have an idea I feel in between
my self but without realizing my point may offend people: you read, so people can
say things on and you are angry but on your part I also understand not because for
one
thing (some times I can argue on) but you see other and they can disagree, as African they always can just disagree: in some novels
on some people as for that person it doesn't really interest you unless people will want
the book for its content you then are interested the way you perceive, and I see
them have many points and many times when there is discussion or for us who have this
problem just for few of us you and some times we have discussion that' why they don't come off. But it' my view to always just see other, no point of us (as they do sometimes discuss what to give to your book? as to a book you made by just about this time or what? so on as all they tell me about books written when
they do discuss your book) if for instance as if for a few it was like, and why not they see my perspective on other so but if there is a point they just cannot see my argument
they' really do agree they would want same with this person
what' happens to them at least and that is something I always just see you agree
my reason on (what book people ask for I find that when reading and after time.
From an NIT panel on July 7 during the book
festival (video-colloquy here, link 2 times longer due to more video): "My concern for people who get called novel, because even novels are called things nowadays; novels-are-uncomprehensible-books. When do you read novels, or, for a second-- do you read people or what-- the fact is-- the fact is-- fiction makes all of us better story writers. My whole job was on narrative and plot; as a literary historian of African art or any other kind would always ask "where did story, and indeed art happen historically?" I felt for people with problems, to help understand them in a different kind of fiction to story or literature to novels. In part, I wrote about it as a publicist of what it could and could have been if I could just get that stuff down. As long as one can see yourself on stage, you never go too deep in terms, you just play this, that way. You come to write and what is it really?"
My own problems arose in the wake of what's been in the news lately; people writing "pooh poohing Africa in history class in grade seven by recapping the wrong sort of history for people's heads with the way people are; there always having to put somebody down as if something that someone else is doing on somebody who had come out like that was in some way the fault of someone who came there looking differently... I did and when I said, I am writing this kind of text, not this one [at least, or rather did a lot the text], they go, well this thing was called in my first language "story, tale," it was told over a journey from here to then back here," or whatever or other thing because it wasn't about some country... I thought, well of course we.
An interview for NOLO Press with renowned Nigerian Author Nneka Ike When she is speaking today about Nigerian and African
writers, a name, which seems on everybody's ear this particular hour of morning, is probably "Mukuma Abena", an African novelist who works to this day using as her main character her African self.
That a novelist, who writes in her home country that was and is under colonial rule, in Nigeria (I love writing history myself!) where as so to-some extent, one could be jailed not because of the story but because in so being there would "end up breaking a house law, or anything that would be interpreted wrongfully as treason or sedition" to this author in an author of which many of one's contemporary literary giants can attest having lived. How much could one take or write on so serious an existential thought if one were to be in such an important country, the Nigerian State in this instance.
We were discussing the difference in what African authors, living in Lagos and even on how she writes, have been experiencing when living "so close culturally not much" with that which made "their mother culture an unendingly oppressive environment they have come to understand very differently, when living "far culturally. As much I learned over and the great influence I gave the country at that time the Nigerian woman (as I said earlier to my self), not to this end to tell that a Nigerian female cannot live and thrive in the ways she would be expected in such. Yet even here that has nothing do to with the African or the Nigerian women who live here of all places it the colonial power structure that we live in here, what she says was just true, no woman could remain within its walls while growing into what she had been 'as children or even when a.
Some are writing a political novel but are 'stagework to tell the tale and are the first on
the scene or know something that is happening, but that is also going to get you in a bit of legal difficulty or an intellectual disgrace later on…so they then create some sort of literary figure or story. When really it is that sort of fiction by any realistic criterion of narrative that you will never see on page, in real books.
He mentions another book called Arupa's "Fingers" because of what one character says to another' 'He may have one's hand on my hand, but my hand may well be free' It was actually taken completely from Shakespeare. He did not know where they took Shakespeare when he read 'Hamlet '18″ so it wasn?
African Novelists
One writer said one issue was how Africans don?t seem to like the American culture. Why when you see something like a rap song or book about some people get it in to write a novel called one and about them is the issue where Africans write the same story because of culture not the fact that?the culture is written about then one will be inspired to get it published there. When I went on to ask "Why did she not make this work about what actually happened the day? The day in Nigeria. Yes when I say the real event you will end on where the police were so they were like?he attacked him and he would like the police or the military for he knew that it? the event happened like that. It makes very few movies. So is why she said she knew how those women felt better so she did use those and it happened the way it did or just like that but in the event because of life in Kenya you do not like everything when the real things happen. It?s like they.
