Gurnah was born in 1948 and grew up on the island of Zanzibar in the Indian Ocean. He reached  England as a refugee at late 1960’s. He was Professor of English and Postcolonial Literatures at the University of Kent, Canterbury and has published ten novels and many short stories.

“The theme of the refugee’s disruption runs throughout his work. He began writing as a 21-year-old in English exile, and although Swahili was his first language, English became his literary tool,” The Swedish Academy said in a statement.
