Beyoncé's surprise album (Merry early Christmas!) features a spoken-word clip from Nigerian-American writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, whose novel AMERICANAH was one of the best of the year.
The "Bow Down"esque track "Flawless" samples from Adichie's TEDxEuston talk
"We Should All Be Feminists" from earlier in the year. Adichie probably isn't, as the
NY Daily News claimed, the first author to be featured in the
New Yorker and a Beyoncé track, but it's probably a small club.
