Adichie's The Thing Around Your Neck

This is perhaps the first review of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's collection of short stories. It was reviewed among other collections, including Petina Gappah's An Elegy for Easterly.
I don't really like collective reviews. You just have to dig deeper into the mix in order to get to the book you want to know much about. Is this a statement about the state of short stories in our age? I don't know. There are, however, some glaring lines about our own Adichie and Gappah. ENJOY.
