Radio Grille – 12/2014 – ‚Americanah‘ – the book

★pop_queer_multilingua_poesia★ programm:

“It always makes me very happy, making people uncomfortable.”
Chimamanda Adichie

What a quote to start from!
What an Author. What a Book!

Listen to Leni, Henrie, Lawrita, Gegi & Helga talking about ‚Americanah‘ by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
From ’still coming back to the love theme…‘ and ‚it’s funny, it’s educating, it’s enlightning…‘ to ‚it’s all about reality…‘ we found a lot in the book that we wanted to discuss.
Henrie recommended some great musicians and you will find an eclectic choice of voices & beats in the mix.
So – Listen Up!
