8 September 2006: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's official site is now online! It is mainly built around her new novel, Half of a Yellow Sun, but also contains information about the author and about Purple Hibiscus, a Q&A with Chimamanda and much more. Since the official page also has a comprehensive Events and Appearances section, the Events section on this webpage will be deleted, so that both websites - the official one and this one - can be complementary rather than redundant.

23 March 2006: I was very fortunate to meet Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on 19 and 21 March in Brussels, where she was taking part in two literary events. Chimamanda struck me as extremely friendly and approachable: she spent time signing books and answering everyone's questions (including mine), and agreed to have her picture taken with her fans (again including me!). It was confirmed at the events that the Dutch version of her new novel, Half of a Yellow Sun, will be released under the title Een halve gele zon in June 2006, while the English version will be published at the end of August.
