    This interviewer was very good, I love it when Chimamanda gets interviewers like this. We get to hear some of her best thoughts.

    I enjoyed this! Schulz did a great job interviewing Adichie, offering a close reading of the author's works, which was quite refreshing.

    Bella A, you should try to become more familiar with how New Yorkers talk. (Maybe with the differences in how many people talk.) Schulz was an excellent interviewer in that she deeply understood many of the undercurrents of Adichie's book, and engaged her on a level most interviewers can't. I have watched many of Adichie's interviews and this is one of the best. You could even see that Adichie herself was engaged.

    Chimamanda is awesome, but the interviewer made the video suck, she shouldn't interview anyone any more and she is very rude too

    • @diouranke
      @diouranke Před 9 lety +2

      ur right, she hardly let Chimamanda talk, she was tripping over herself

    • @justinleemiller
      @justinleemiller Před 9 lety +14

      I was thinking the exact opposite. She seemed to know more about the book and topics than the average interviewer. Some very smart observations about the book, too.

      Justin Lee Miller i agree

      @@justinleemiller indeed, I thought she exemplified brilliant journalism and showed a perfect balance not only in how she shared the space and time with Chimamanda, her contributions opened up even more insights into the beauty, significance and value of the book. She expertly did not make herself the center, nor was she cringe worthy in her praise of the book or the author, her comments were always evidenced referenced to the book. She is certainly qualified to carry on interviewing
