El Premio Nobel de Literatura 2021 fue otorgado al novelista tanzano Abdulrazak Gurnah por su conmovedora descripción de los efectos del colonialismo informó este jueves la Academia Sueca.
El Comité Nobel destacó de la obra de Gurnah su «penetración intransigente y compasiva en los efectos del colonialismo y el destino del refugiado en el abismo entre culturas y continentes».
Nacido en la isla de Zanzíbar en 1948, Gurnah se instaló en Inglaterra a finales de los años sesenta y es autor de diez novelas, entre ellas «Memory of Departure», «Pilgrims Way», «Dottie», «Paradise», «Admiring Silence» o «By the Sea».
Gurnah es el quinto escritor africano galardonado con el Nobel, después de Wole Soyinka (Nigeria, en 1986), Naguib Mahfuz (Egipto, 1988), y los sudafricanos Nadine Gordimer (1991) y John Maxwell Coetzee (2003), ambos de Sudáfrica.
Comenzó a escribir a los 21 años en el exilio inglés, y aunque el suajili era su primer idioma, el inglés se convirtió en su herramienta literaria.
Ha dicho que en Zanzíbar su acceso a la literatura en suajili era prácticamente nulo y que sus primeros escritos no podían contarse estrictamente como literatura.
Hasta su reciente jubilación fue profesor de Literatura Inglesa y postcolonial en la Universidad de Kent, en Canterbury. El tema de la perturbación del refugiado, según la academia sueca, recorre toda su obra.
