Ten Years of the Caine Prize for African Writing

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Caine Prize for African Writing often referred to as the African Booker Prize this book showcases all 10 of the winning stories, which have emerged from Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Sudan, Uganda and Zimbabwe. From the traditional village to the riotous cacophony of the capital city, from the chill of exile to the cell of a prisoner of conscience, these stories reflect the vast range of modern African experience. As a special bonus it also includes stories by the three African winners of the Booker Prize Nadine Gordimer, Ben Okri, and J.M. Coetzee, whose contribution Nietverloren is published here for the first time.
