Americanah

This is a very ambitious book, with such a broad range of subjects woven together - race/racism in the U.S., corruption and wealth in Nigeria, the immigrant experience, black hair, politics, academia, coming to terms with returning home after a long absence and not being sure where to fit in ... it's a long, meandering reading experience, but a truly immersive one. I enjoyed it a lot, though I wish it had felt a little more cohesive. Maybe the non-linear timeline threw me off more than I thought, as I was never quite sure when things were happening, unless it was specifically talking about Barack Obama. I also have some questions about Ifemelu's blog logistics. But, those are small complaints. Definitely worth a read.
