Thursday, 7 October 2021 (YJC)_ The 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature went to Abdul Razzaq Gorna, a 73-year-old Tanzanian writer.
The Swedish Nobel Academy has announced the winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature, and Tanzanian novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah has been named the winner of this year's Nobel Prize in Literature.
The Nobel Committee has declared Abdulrazak Gurnah worthy of receiving the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature for his "uncompromising and compassionate penetration of the effects of colonialism."
Abdulrazak Gurnah , born in 1948, who lives in Britain and writes in English, has published 10 novels and a collection of short stories entitled "My Mother Lived on a Farm in Africa" (2006). The novel "Paradise" is one of his most important works, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1994.
"Escape" (2005) and "By the Sea" (2001) are two other famous novels by this author, both of which were among the early nominees for the Booker Prize. "Life after Death" (2020) is also Gorna's last novel to be shortlisted for the George Orwell Prize.
