The 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded to Tanzanian novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah, as per an official announcement published on Thursday.
Anders Olsson, chair of the Nobel committee, said that the prize is awarded to Gurnah “for his uncompromising and compassionate penetration of the effects of colonialism and the fate of the refugee in the gulf between cultures and continents.”
Born in Zanzibar and based in England, Gurnah has published 10 novels and a number of short stories. This announcement makes him the first black African writer to win the prize since Wole Soyinka in 1986.
