As a powerful matriarchy reshapes the world, two men - old friends - confront the past and future in a bracing speculative short story by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, author of Americanah.
One night in Lagos, two former friends reunite. Obinna is a dutiful and unsophisticated stay-at-home husband and father married to a powerful businesswoman. Eze is single, a cautious rebel from his university days whose arrival soon upsets the balance in Obinna’s life. In a world where men are constantly under surveillance and subject to the whims of powerful women, more than Obinna’s ordered and accustomed routine might be on the line.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s The Visit is part of Black Stars, a multi-dimensional collection of speculative fiction from Black authors. Each story is a world much like our own. Read or listen to them in a single sitting.

The aggravations and transgressions toward men are at the beginning are slight, but escalate quickly, albeit quietly to traumas women in our world traverse daily. From micro aggressions from spouses who’s power come only from the sex between their legs and being the gender held to esteem, to narrowly sidestepping atrocities that should be experienced by no one, but are inevitably covered over by silence that’s paid for by hidden tears in the wee hours of the night. This story doesn’t aim to show the reader/listener what life would be like IF women ruled the world, but to open up a window into what it IS like to be a woman ruled in our own.
