RE: A Book Review || The Thing Around Your Neck.

I used to teach this book. I really liked it. I learnt a lot about Nigeria from it and like Adichies writing. She says that a single story of a people denies their dignity and humanity so the collection works well to avoid stereotypes.

And this makes so much sense. With the this book was crafted, she carefully avoided any form of stereotype whatsoever.

You used to teach? That's awesome. Mind if I ask for how long?

20 years. Still do emergency teaching a few days a week.

You must really love teaching😊
