Chimamanda Adichie’s ‘Half of a Yellow Sun’ To Be Made Into A Film

Nigerian author Chimamanda Adichie’s popular novel Half of a Yellow Sun, which won the 2007 Orange Prize For Fiction, is to be turned into a film.

“Speaking at a recent book signing in Australia, Chimamanda noted that she would not be involved in any aspect of the movie production. She did note that she expects that the storyline will remain true to the book as the production team that produced ‘The Last King of Scotland’ will be producing this film,” reports Jamati.

Adichie also won a MacArthur Foundation fellowship, popularly known as a “genius grant”, which came with an obligation-free annual grant of $100,000 for a five-year period and last year released a short collection of stories titled The Thing Around Your Neck [click to buy via Amazon].
