The list selected by the New York Times' editors has Chimamanda
Ngozi Adichie’s new book Americanah as the number one of the best books of
2013.
The statement reads: Adichie’s third novel takes on the comedy and tragedy of
American race relations from the perspective of a young Nigerian immigrant.
From the office politics of a hair-braiding salon to the burden of memory,
there’s nothing too humble or daunting for this fearless writer, who is so
attuned to the various worlds and shifting selves we inhabit — in life and
online, in love, as agents and victims of history and the heroes of our own
stories.
