A timely chronicle of women’s vulnerabilities, a bumper compilation of middle-aged experience, and a publishing event ten years in the making: Dream Count, the latest novel by Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, has arrived with high expectations and widespread attention. During her one and only book presentation in Belgium, we delve into the power of her storytelling.

Set during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dream Count is built around the friendship of three Nigerian women whose lives haven’t turned out as imagined. It is Adichie’s fifth full-length novel, following Half of a Yellow Sun and Americanah, among others. Beyond her fiction, Adichie gained international recognition through her essay and TED talk We Should All Be Feminists, which was sampled by Beyoncé in Flawless.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie will be interviewed by Catherine Vuylsteke.
