Video of a speech given by the Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie upon recieving the 2018 PEN Pinter Prize, which was filmed by the English Centre at a ceremony held on 9 October 2018 at The British Library in London. The PEN Pinter Prize was established by the English Centre in 2009 in memory of Nobel Laureate playwright Harold Pinter, former vice-president of the English Centre and member of the Writers in Prison Committee, and is awarded to writers whose work – in the words of Pinter’s 2005 Nobel speech – casts an “unflinching, unswerving gaze upon the world”. The title of Adichie’s talk was Shut up and Write.
