Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a critically acclaimed contemporary novel that follows a young female student from Africa navigating life, identity, and race after moving to the United States.

Regina Barzilay brought up the novel on the Lex Fridman Podcast to illustrate how reading fiction helped her personally relate to the complex immigrant experience of moving between distinct cultures and countries.
