Literary Domain Of Abdulrazak Gurnah

According to Gurnah's longtime editor, Alexandra Pringle, his win was "most deserved" for a writer who has not previously received due recognition. She elaborated further, "He is one of the greatest living African writers, and no one has ever taken any notice of him." Pringle said Gurnah had always written about displacement, "but in the most beautiful and haunting ways of what it is that uproots people and blows them across continents". Alexandra acclaims him as one of the greatest African writers. True, but not for Africa and its culture and literature but international readers.
