Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie – international bestselling author, literary superstar and feminist icon – presents her long-awaited new novel Dream Count. With keen understanding, she vividly and cleverly weaves together the lives of four women who encounter, support and lose each other across continents. Like no other, Adichie writes about existential female experiences that often crop up in very brief moments: a pregnancy test on the edge of a bathtub, daydreaming after making eye contact in an airplane, waiting for a phone call or suddenly finding one’s courage. This groundbreaking contemporary novel explores the differences and shared experiences of women in a world that still makes it difficult for them to join forces. A decade after the release of “Americanah”, “Dream Count” marks another pinnacle in Adichie’s career. German text: tba; Host: tba
