Nobel Prize in literature awarded to Abdulrazak Gurnah

Alexandra Pringle, Gurnah’s editor at Bloomsbury within the U.Ok., mentioned, “It has been one of many nice sadnesses and frustrations of my profession that his work has not acquired the popularity it deserves. For years and years, he has instructed lovely and highly effective tales of the winds of politics, commerce, love and conflict that blow folks throughout continents. After 20 years of publishing him, of preserving the religion, I had nearly given up hope. This is among the happiest days of my life.”
