Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: Dream Count

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Shares How Her Mom Inspired Her to Write Dream Count

In this Late Night With Seth Meyers interview, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie discusses the process of writing Dream Count (Knopf, 2025), her first novel in ten years, and how turning to poetry and the memories of her mother inspired her. “I have always felt that poetry nurtures your language and I read it to remind me of the magic of language,” she says.
