<br>
<li>2006- <i>Half of a Yellow Sun</i> was a highly successful novel.The novel became an international best seller and was awarded the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction in 2007. Eight years later it won the “Best of the Best” Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction, a special award for the “best” prizewinner from the previous decade.</li>
<br>
<li> 2008- Chimamanda received a MacArthur Foundation fellowship. The following year she released <i>The Thing Around Your Neck</i>, a critically acclaimed collection of short stories.</li>
