Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

I really like Middlemarch. I think it's very long, but it's very wise and just really... I was going to say teaches you, but actually it does, you know, in a way that you're having fun, but you're also learning and you're in the hands of a very wise writer. There's a wonderful writer from Poland who wrote this book called The Beautiful Mrs., and I cannot pronounce the name, Seidenmann.

But if you just go The Beautiful Mrs., I'm sure Google will fill it up. I also just find it very wise. I love realism. I don't really like speculative fiction. I'm not interested in science fiction. And I just feel like I learn the most from novels because I learn about human beings.

And I think it helps me understand the world and helps me... Oh, there's something I forgot to say, which I have to say. Increasingly, I'm fascinated by how what people think is sophisticated... is in fact not at all. I mean, there's a sense in which the arguments and the positions are really incredibly simple and simplistic.

But the people who talk about them think that they're very sophisticated. Yes. And I'm thinking about that because of what you said about a certain kind of... maybe an insufficient self-knowledge.

So in other words, the way that America thinks that it is still leading the world is the same way that I think certain people in America think that they're incredibly sophisticated in their thinking, but actually it's very provincial and simple. Yes, that I can agree with. On that note.

I couldn't write for a while, and then I started writing again. I felt terror. I thought, what if I never write again?

It does, it does. Actually, my block, and I don't like to use that expression because I'm too superstitious, but my something that happened that I couldn't... The space. Yes, the space. That's good. It happened when I became pregnant. I'm not sure that it was just entirely physiological, but something changed, and I just could not get back into that sort of magical place where I can write fiction.

I have always longed to be known, truly known by another human being. Sometimes we live for years with yearnings that we cannot name until a crack appears in the sky and widens and reveals us to ourselves.
