- W4313142192 abstract "Nigerian novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie reviewed President Barack Obama's memoir, A Promised Land, for The New York Times. Always a vocal fan of the Obamas (though perhaps more so Michelle than Barack), the review is an admiring one. She praises his prose as ‘gorgeous’ and ‘always pleasurable to read’ while discussing with scepticism Obama's ‘savage self-questioning’, wondering whether such questioning is itself a defence mechanism developed by the former American president to deflect criticism by anticipating it. Her book review carefully adheres to the form. For example, after detailing Obama's tendency to narrate every political decision with ‘a watery considering of so many sides that resulted in no sides at all’, she backs away from an extended critique of this facet of Obama's governing style, beyond its quality as a narrative device. Adichie in her role as book critic, views Obama's sins as stylistic, avoiding discussion of specific policy. However, her review ends with a somewhat broader meditation on the grace and admiration we afford public intellectuals like Obama (and perhaps Adichie herself), writing," @default.
