I have built this website, which is not official, mainly for two reasons.

First of all (and obviously), I would like to promote the work of an extremely talented writer.

Secondly, as both online and offline articles/reviews start to proliferate, I hope to be able to compile reliable and, as far as possible, comprehensive information on works published by and about Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, including scholarly essays. I have modelled the bibliographical section of this website on Bénédicte Ledent's Caryl Phillips Bibliography and Hena Maes-Jelinek's Wilson Harris Bibliography.

I would like to encourage readers and scholars from all over the world to contribute items, either from printed documents, from Internet sites or from other sources. All references and comments can be sent to:

Thank you!

I am currently working as a F.R.S-FNRS postdoctoral researcher in the English Department of the University of Liège, Belgium. I teach English grammar and my areas of research include post-colonial literature (especially African fiction) and stylistics.

In 2008, I completed a PhD thesis entitled "Style beyond Borders: Language in Recent Nigerian Fiction", which attempted to analyze novels by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Ben Okri and Gbenga Agbenugba from a perspective including elements of stylistics, sociolinguistics and literary criticism.

I have published articles on Ben Okri, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and New Zealand writer Janet Frame. Some of them are available online via the University of Liège's institutional repository ORBi. I also have a Ben Okri bibliography.
