ENTRY #5
According to her speech, Chimamanda Ngozi assures that she writes because she has to and claims the production of writing as an obligation.
The way she speaks is comprehensible and the most important thing is that she is able to make you pay carefully attention to what she says.
Chimamanda ensures that she has the necessity of sitting and writing for hours and also that she likes writing to those people who really enjoy the kind of fiction she enjoys. She is a writer who is not interest in Hobbits or alternative universes, for instance. Instead, she writes about real human beings, living in real places, therefore she calls this Literature as a Real Literature. In her opinion, Literature is in charge of intructing and delighting, and at the same time she underlines that Realistic Literature is to search for humanity with much less cynicism. Literature show us that we are different, she insists on a magnificent diversity in the world and that to be a human is to want to be valued. How important is for us to feel valued.
On the other hand, her books and writings are powerful and have distinction for her; she remembers her childhood reading British books, English as an important language in her life, English books by Charles Dickens, for example, also Virginia Woolf. What she really highlight is that Modern Literature transmits the sensibility of citizenship, learning a second sensibility, a second Englishness. But who exactly inspires her to write? Well, her inspiration comes from her father, from the eyes of her mother telling stories. There is a sense of belonging to the mass og humanity.
She writes because she loves to do it, because she has grown up among books, she writes because she has the necessity of doing it.
