The 2021 Nobel Prize in literature was awarded to the novelist Abdulrazak
Gurnah,for his firm and passionate descriptions of the effects of colonialism(
and the fate of the refugee (in the gap between cultures and continents.
Born in Zanzibar in 1948,Gurnah arrived in England as a refugee in the late
1960s.At the age of 21,he began to write in English.He was Professor of English
and Postcolonial Literature at the University of Kent.Canterbury before he
retired.
Gurnah is the first black African author to have won the award since Wole
Soyinka in 1986.He has published 10 novels and a number of short stories.The
theme of the refugee's sufferings runs through his works.His 1994 novel
Paradise,which told the story of a boy growing up in Tanzania in the early 20th
century won the Booker Prize and marked his breakthrough as a novelist And his
most recent work Afterlives picks up the narrative of Paradise and takes place
during the German colonization of Africa.His novels open our eyes to a culturally
diversified East Africa unfamiliar to many in other parts of the world.
Gurnah said his award would mean issues such as the refugee crisis and
colonialism,which he had experienced would be "discussed"."These are things
that are with us every day.People are dying:people are being hurt around the
world-we must deal with these issues in the most kind way."he said,"The
world is much more violent than it was in the 1960s,so there is now greater
pressure on the countries that are safe.They unavoidably draw more people."
In an interview in 2016,when asked if he would call himself an "author of
postcolonial and/or world literature".Gurnah replied."I would not use any of
those words.I wouldn't call myself a something writer of any kind.In fact,I am
not sure that I would call myself anything apart from my name."
