Not Pynchon once again. (who it will never be) But another blow against empires. More refugees in the world than even at the end of WW2.

The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2021 is awarded to the novelist Abdulrazak
Gurnah <https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/literature/2021/gurnah/facts/> “for
his uncompromising and compassionate penetration of the effects of
colonialism and the fate of the refugee in the gulf between cultures and
continents”.

Gurnah was born in 1948 and grew up on the island of Zanzibar in the Indian
Ocean but arrived in England as a refugee in the end of the 1960’s. He has
published ten novels and a number of short stories. The theme of the
refugee’s disruption runs throughout his work.
