Notes on Grief is a 2021 memoir written by the Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.[1][2][3] Presented in 30 short sections, Notes on Grief was written following the death of her father James Nwoye Adichie in June 2020, during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic,[4] and is expanded from an essay first published in The New Yorker.[5] As The New York Times notes: "What she narrates is not only father loss, but the ways Mr. Adichie endures in having made of her a writer."[4]
