Description
signing only: CHIMAMANDA NGOZI ADICHIE - The Thing Around Your Neck (Knopf, $24.95). "A dozen stories about the lives of Nigerians at home and in America from the winner of the Orange Broadband Prize. In the five tales set in the United States, Adichie (Half of a Yellow Sun, 2006, etc.) profiles characters both drawn to America and cautious of assimilation... Insightful and illuminating," said Kirkus. Booklist said, "Adichie's graceful and slicing stories of characters struggling with fear, anger, and sorrow beautifully capture the immense resonance of small things as the larger world pitches into incoherence."
