Why this book should exist

Chimamanda has already written one of the most quietly devastating books on grief in this language. We want a longer one.

We also want the writing book. The one that says, plainly, here is how I do it. Even a small one.

We will read both. We will give them away. We have been waiting.

“I started this campaign because I have spent years hoping Chimamanda Ngozi Adichiewould write this. I'd rather ask publicly than keep waiting.”
