However, even if we never get a special Instagram read-a-long from Adichie herself, we'll have the masterful audiobook to listen to: Zikora will be narrated by actress Adepero Oduye ( Pariah, 12 Years a Slave). Preparing for motherhood, Zikora begins to see more clearly what her own mother wants for her, for her new baby, and for herself. Stunned by the speed with which her ideal life fell apart, she turns to reflection on her mother’s painful past and struggle for dignity. But it’s Zikora’s demanding, self-possessed mother, arriving in town for the birth, who makes Zikora feel like a lonely little girl all over again. When Zikora, a DC lawyer from Nigeria, tells her equally high-powered lover that she’s pregnant, he abandons her. Judging by the tantalizing official summary of "Zikora," we hope this short story is next. While in quarantine, the MacArthur genius has been entertaining us with readings of her past work, from Americanahto introductions of coffee table books about the future of African football. Zikora is available to purchase for non-subscribers, too. The standalone short story, which explores one woman's bumpy road to motherhood, will be released through Amazon Original Stories, and is free for Amazon Prime and Kindle Unlimited subscribers. Zikora, out October 27, is Adichie's first work of fiction since Americanah. Oprah and Jenna Bush Hager Talk Book Clubs.
