“What are you reading?”
“Americanah.”
“I know that author.”
“Yeah, she’s Nigerian. I first heard about her from the Beyonce song. It took forever to get the book because it was on the New York Times bestseller list and I get all my books from the library. I finally got it and started it yesterday.”
“What is it about?”
“It’s about the Nigerian experience in America, and in London. It’s relevant with everything that’s happening now.”
