It is that time of year again when the Nobel literature prize is announced it just has and this year’s winner is Abdulrazak Gurnah a writer that is not known to me so he is a leftfield choice I have just ordered two of his books I see that Lisa has read him at Anzlitlovers . He has been on the booker list twice in 1994 and 2001. If you have read him what would you recommend ?


Thanks for the mention Stu. I’ve got Beside the Sea and Desertion on the TBR and I will read them with renewed interest after hearing the Nobel citation!
I have just been reading about him. I wasn’t familiar with him either but see he has written many books that look quite interesting. I just had a look through them so will be interested to read any comments that come back to you. 🐧🤠❤
By coincidence I bought his most recent book, After Lives, last week though I’d never heard of the author
