Writing in The New York Times, Felicia R. Lee noted the "new wave of African writers with an internationalist bent":
"Black literary writers with African roots (though some grew up elsewhere), mostly young cosmopolitans who write in English, are making a splash in the book world, especially in the United States. They are on best-seller lists, garner high profile reviews and win major awards, in American and in Britain. [Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie], 36, the author of Americanah, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction this year, is a prominent member of an expanding group that includes Dinaw Mengetsu, Helen Oyeyemi, NoViolet Bulawayo, Teju Cole, Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor, Taiye, Selasi, among others."
