The Arrangements Pdf Summary
In an election season widely seen as stranger than fiction, we decided to turn to fiction to see how it might illuminate today’s befuddling political climate. For the first time ever, the Book Review has commissioned an original short story. The assignment: Write anything about this election season you like. The result, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s “The Arrangements,” on our cover this week, updates Virginia Woolf’s “Mrs. Dalloway” — with Melania Trump as Clarissa.
In an email interview, Adichie, whose novel “Americanah” was one of the Book Review’s 10 Best Books of 2013, said Woolf’s novel “both criticizes, and is also complicit in, a certain kind of conservative class-privileged England, and I like to think this story has the same general spirit.”
Adichie’s interest began with Ivanka Trump, who “seems to me too thoughtful and too intelligent to truly believe that her father’s erratic, ungrounded policy positions would genuinely be good for the United States. And so I imagined her as a kind of unknowable character, and I needed a foil of sorts for her, which is how Melania Trump became the center of the story.”
“Fiction can remind us — and because of the blood-sport nature of politics, we constantly need reminding — that the players in politics are first human beings,” Adichie said.
