While browsing Youtube videos, I came across this lecture by my new favorite writer, the Nigerian-born Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. In the lecture, The Danger of a Single Story, she discusses the danger of having a singular view of a country or culture. She explains how literature must provide multiple views.
Check out the video here:
Chimamanda has an amazing perspective and a great sense of humor. This lecture gave me excellent insight to her point of view as a writer.
