Abdulrazak Gurnah: “As if there isn’t enough to go around”

[@utamakurautamakura7435]

A beautiful, beautiful, courtly, caring soul and lyrical writer. So well deserved. Icon of African oceanic imaginaries.

[@nathanngumi8467]

Congratulations to Abdulrazak Gurnah, he has made Africa proud!

[@freak_3]

Abdulrazak Gurnah is a great writer and deserves the award. He is right about refugees, they are not bad people and we have to welcome them to give them a better life. After all, they would have done the same thing for us.

[@naziruimam]

Congratulations to Mr. Abdulrazak Gurnah and Africa. It's a great win 🏆

[@snickaren111]

Humble man! Congrats to Abdulrazak. Always extra special and interesting when the prize goes to an author outside of the western hemisphere! Any suggestion which book to start with?

[@johnsailorsgoat]

I just read that his novel Paradise was the deciding factor in him winning the award.

[@ralmcg]

@@johnsailorsgoat I bought "Paradise". Just waiting to receive it.

[@fugufiish6498]

Start with "Battle Tendency"

[@shachannel100]

Congratulations. Literature speaks. And many thanks to the Nobel prize committee for literature for recognizing his works. I have not read any of his works at the moment but I am itching to do so very soon.

[@BabangidaIbrahimBabura]

A. Gumah, you are indeed very special. This moment made me to know you and I said congrats. I'll definitely find sometimes to read some your literary works.

[@que_93]

This is very inspiring! And the way he remained so calm and humble explains how rich and diverse his experiences are. Congratulation to him, and also my most sincere respect.

[@parthasarathidas8202]

Mind-blowing surprise and that's life changing...

[@indiaburke9457]

Mr Gurnah's statement on refugees reflects the words of the poem " Give me your tired , your poor, your huddled masses , yearning to breath free..." written at the base of the Statue of Liberty.

[@abhisheksoni9609]

Congratulations Sir Gurnah for this great prize

Beautiful interview. I haven't read any writings of Nobel laureate, Abdulrazak Gurnah, inspired to read on listening the interaction. Congratulations

[@alexiszorba69]

Congratulations to Abdulrazak Gurnah! I’m looking forward to read some of his books. PS I hope that, maybe next year, the Albanian novelist Ismail Kadare will be awarded by this prestigious literary prize. His work really deserves it.

[@666VeniVidiVici666]

Every grey hair you see on him is dedicated to the hard work, which he truly deserves. He's a very intelligent, brave man. My hats off to you, Mr Gurnah.

[@ferryfabulous7250]

Hear, hear

[@belugabeluga6109]

For which exact work did he win? I am interested in reading it.

[@moocedudotin3795]

Many Congratulations to Tanzanian novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah for your recognition of uncompromising and compassionate penetration of the effects of colonialisim and the fate of the refugees in the gulf between cultures and continents .

[@nsreynolds8561]

There is the exact same attitude towards asylum seekers in the US. There's not enough to go around but there's plenty to go around in my opinion. It's racism and political plays, at least here in the United States. BTW, I live on the Mexican border and I volunteer with an organization called Annunciation House that provides shelter, food, clothing and aids in travel plans for asylum seekers coming into the US from various parts of the world. Right now we are seeing a lot of Haitian asylum seekers but also Venezuelan, Cuban, Central American (this was the predominant group until Trump's administration got into the asylun system and completely eviscerated it), Mexico and we are starting to see some Africans (mainly Angolans in recent weeks). I am really looking forward to reading some of Mr. Gurnah's work. Congratulations to him! Thank you for the interview as well.

[@MrRazorblade999]

[@Lommy9999]

Let him talk to his friends, family and the media which must be trying to call non-stop!

[@harrietsarahnewton9402]

What a daft time to interview the poor man -- why not give him a day to be happy and tread on the air, rather than start asking him questions on his views, kind of like interviewing a new mother just as she holds her baby -- not the moment Sweden or BBC

[@radhakrishna1845]

Abdulrazak..... Nature.. Whispers.. People like you Hear... Have . Heart💜❤.. For Mother.. Nature... Einstein.. General Theory of Relativity... William Shakespeare... After sweet songs of.. Venus.. Mercury... Has something Please correct me.. William Shakespeare knew About.. Gravitational fields in his own way...
