by (nigeria) Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
About This Novel
I am writing about my father in the past tense. But I really can't believe that I am recording my father in the past tense. "Notes on Grief" is a moving account of a daughter's grief. Using personal events as the starting point, Adichie meticulously describes the memories of close relatives and family life, deeply presenting the characteristics of the genre of grief memoirs, and how grief erases language and eliminates the boundaries of self-identity and time in such memoirs. As the most high-profile African-American female writer in the world's literary world today, Adichie focuses on issues such as family reconstruction, intergenerational differences, and communication difficulties caused by separation and migration, and records the isolation, disorder, and pain caused by the epidemic to immigrant families. Grief is a cruel education. It forces us to shed our shells and be reborn.
