Nigerian novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has written a new short story entitled “Olikoye.” It has been posted in its entirety on medium.com.
This piece appears in the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s “The Art of Saving a Life.” According to the project’s website, this is a “collection of stories about how vaccines continue to change the course of history. It offers an opportunity to hear, see and feel the tremendous impact of immunization, and to energize us in the global effort to protect every child from life-threatening disease.”
For Adichie (pictured, via), her goal in writing this piece is to humanize “the importance of healthcare.” Follow this link to listen to her 2009 TED talk on “the danger of a single story.” What do you think? (via Entertainment Weekly)
