I had done one TED Talk and I felt that I had already said what I could, in fact, say, and I didn’t think I had anything else worth talking about. What was it like to have your ideas about feminism go so viral? It felt strange and surprising. Reached by phone in Lagos, Adichie spoke to about the overwhelming success of her speech and what it means to talk politics with the whole world. Today, the speech comes out in eBook form, which you can purchase here. Previously best known for her fiction, Adichie delivered a TEDx Talk in 2013 so nuanced and rousing, Beyoncé sampled it in her empowerment anthem “Flawless.” Titled “We Should All Be Feminists,” Adichie’s oration weaved together human stories from her youth in Nigeria with a complicated discourse about gender roles in the modern world and a literal textbook definition of “feminism,” which she read aloud about halfway through. If anyone has the skills to make a speech about feminism go viral, it’s Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the Lagos-based writer whose ideas are as complex as her language is straightforward.

In fact, this new, nine-episode update of the 1978 novel about a battle of biblical proportions that ensues from a cataclysmic virus is not even its first transition to the screen. Of course, this was not the first time that Stephen King had a vision for the end of the world that was later adapted for television. Yet, you do have to admit, the health concerns the world has been facing lately have made the plot of the apocalyptic miniseries far more relevant than they might have expected. I do not believe that CBS All Access would call it a stroke of luck that they chose to release The Stand in a year like 2020. 6/8/2023 0 Comments Reviews of the alice networkSent into enemy-occupied France, she's trained by the mesmerizing Lili, the "Queen of Spies", who manages a vast network of secret agents right under the enemy's nose.
