Abstract

Abdulrazak Gurnah was forced to leave his native Zanzibar as a teenager. Living in the United Kingdom he developed his literary career, whose influences range from the Qur’an and the Arabian Nights to Shakespeare and Joseph Conrad. Nominated twice for the Man Booker Prize, his works show the cultural and religious clashes that have occurred since distant times in East Africa, gaps that are difficult to close and accompany exiles in Europe. This perseverance in the colonial and post-colonial situation in his works has earned him the 2021 Nobel Prize in literature.
