There will be spoilers in this episode as we nitpick the ending and the structure of Americanah, both of which we found to be problematic in parts. We also discuss whether or not this is a patriotic novel and if Americans are the intended audience.
This is the second book in our Contemporary Nigerian Fiction series. Other books in this series in clude The Death of Vivek Oji and Stay with Me.
