Katarina Hedrén I don’t expect anyone who isn’t a masochist, lover of the bizarre, a student of Euro-supremacy or a diehard fan of Chimamanda (who’s in total control), to sit through the entire conversation, which includes JÅ comparing Half of a Yellow Sun to Gone with the Wind (8:55); JÅ declaring that the actress Thandi Newton, who played the female lead in the film version of Half of a Yellow Sun, is “really white being the twin-sister of Olanna,” prompting Chimamanda to deliver the phenomenal mini-lecture “The Different Ranges of Colour in which Black People Come” (12:45) and JÅ objecting to Chimamanda bringing up Sweden’s colonizing past, prompting another brilliant lecture on Europe’s inability to talk about the legacy of colonialism in an honest way (47:25).
