The 2021 Nobel Prize in literature has been awarded to the 73-year-old novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah. for his firm and passionate descriptions of the effects of colonialism (殖民主义)and the fate of the refugee (难民)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 (he University of Kent. Canterbury, until his recent retirement this year.
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 hoy 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 arc 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 il 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.
