A writing life.
Expository writing is a distinct form of writing that aims to inform, explain, or describe a particular subject matter to the reader. Unlike narrative writing, which tells a story, or persuasive writing, which seeks to convince the reader of a specific viewpoint, expository writing is grounded in factual information and objective analysis. This style of writing is commonly employed in academic settings, professional reports, and instructional materials.
The primary objective of expository writing is clarity; it provides readers with straightforward explanations and insights into complex topics. Common uses include essays that elucidate scientific concepts, articles that describe processes or events, and manuals that offer guidance on specific tasks. Key characteristics of effective expository writing include a well-structured format, logical progression of ideas, and the inclusion of evidence or examples to support claims.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, born Grace Ngozi Adichie, 15 September 1977, is a Nigerian writer of novels, short stories, poems, and children's books; she is also a book reviewer and literary critic. Her most famous works include Purple Hibiscus (2003), Half of a Yellow Sun (2006), and Americanah (2013). She is widely recognised as a central figure in postcolonial feminist literature.
Born into an Igbo family in Enugu, Nigeria, Adichie was educated at the University of Nigeria in Nsukka, where she studied medicine for a year and a half. She left Nigeria at the age of 19 to study in the United States at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and went on to study at a further three universities in the U.S.: Eastern Connecticut State University, Johns Hopkins University, and Yale University.
Many of Adichie's novels are set in Nsukka, where she grew up. She started writing during her university education. She first wrote Decisions (1997), a poetry collection, followed by a play, For Love of Biafra (1998). She achieved early success with her debut novel, Purple Hibiscus. Adichie has written many works and has cited Chinua Achebe and Buchi Emecheta as inspirations, and Adichie's writing style juxtaposes Western and African influences, with particular influence from Igbo culture. Most of her works explore the themes of religion, immigration, gender and culture.
