“I recently spoke at a university where a student told me it was such a shame that Nigerian men were physical abusers like the father character in my novel.

I told him that I had recently read a novel called American Psycho, and that it was a shame that young Americans were serial murderers.”

- Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Nigerian novelist, editor, and lecturer and winner of the 2007 Orange Prize for Fiction for Half of a Yellow Sun
