Abdulrazak Gurnah has won the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature award.

Gurnah has until his recent retirement been Professor of English and Postcolonial Literatures at the University of Kent in Canterbury, focusing principally on writers such as Wole Soyinka, James Ngugi Wa Thiong'o and Salman Rushdie.

He was born in Zanzibar in 1948 and went to Britain as a Student in 1968.



SOURCE

His novel "Paradise" was shortlisted for the Booker's Prize in 1994.

I was about to rejoice that Nigeria have added another Nobel Laureate..
Until I saw Zanzibar.
