I am just halfway through Adichie's brilliant new novel but the emotional depth of the four women characters has blown me away! @InannaPub

If anyone is worried about creating characters from another race, culture, religion, this is the book to read: Writing the Other by Nisi Shawl and Cynthia Ward. Useful and enlightening! @InannaPub

There is often a debate over whether creative writing can be "taught." If you're curious, the NYT ran a piece last weekend with a few books to check out. From personal experience, the title "Refuse To Be Done" strikes me as particularly true.
