Abdulrazak Gurnah was born in 1948 in Zanzibar. In the 1960s, he left his country, then in the midst of a revolution, and headed for the United Kingdom. He was Professor of English Literature at the University of Kent in Canterbury, where he currently lives. His work deals with the African experience, colonialism and the refugee, and in it the novels Paraíso (1994), finalist for the Booker Prize and the Whitbread Award; By the Sea (2001), nominated for the Booker Prize and finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Award; The Deserter (2005), finalist for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize; and Vidas Próximo (2020), a finalist for the Orwell Prize for Political Writing 2021 and nominated for the Walter Scott Prize 2021, all of them published by Cavalo de Ferro. Gurnah received the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the determined and humane way in which he addresses and delves into the consequences of colonialism and the fate of the refugee in the gap between cultures and continents". Gente da Casa (2025) is his most recent novel.
