A devastating essay on loss and the people we love from Chimamanda Ngozi
Adichie, the bestselling author of Americanah and Half of a Yellow Sun.
'Grief is a cruel kind of education. You learn
how ungentle mourning can be, how full of anger.
You learn how
glib condolences can feel. You learn how much grief is about language,
the failure of language and the grasping for language' On 10
June 2020, the scholar James Nwoye Adichie died suddenly in Nigeria.
In this tender and powerful essay, expanded from the original
New Yorker text, his daughter, a self-confessed daddy's girl, remembers
her beloved father.
Notes on Grief is at once a tribute to a
long life of grace and wisdom, the story of a daughter's fierce love for
a parent, and a revealing examination of the layers of loss and the
nature of grief.
