Vor vier Jahren erhielt er den Literaturnobelpreis – jetzt ist Abdulrazak Gurnah mit einem neuen Roman zurück. In „Diebstahl“ erzählt der Autor von drei jungen Menschen, die unterschiedlicher kaum sein könnten: Karim, der ehrgeizige Heimkehrer, Fauzia, die nach Freiheit sucht, und Badar, der trotz Armut und ungewisser Zukunft nicht aufgibt. Zwischen Tradition, Fortschritt und den Verlockungen des Tourismus entwirft Gurnah ein warmherziges, zugleich scharfes Bild des heutigen Tansania. Sarah Murrenhoff hat den Roman gelesen.

Abdulrazak Gurnah is emeritus Professor of Post-Colonial Literatures at the University of Kent and the 2021 Nobel Prize winner in Literature. Born in Zanzibar in 1948, the second of six children, Abdulrazak grew up in the dying days of the island's status as a British protectorate before independence was declared in 1963. The revolution which followed made Zanzibar an undesirable and unsafe place to live in for young men of Arab heritage. In 1967, he left to seek opportunities in Britain.He subsidised his studies through a series of low paid jobs which included strawberry picking, factory work and time as a hospital porter. In the evenings he was studying at night school and after gaining a PhD in English, he joined the University of Kent, eventually becoming a Professor.Alongside his academic career, Abdulrazak was writing and it took him twelve years to find a publisher for his 1987 debut novel, Memory of Departure.He has published ten more novels since then, including 1994's Paradise and 2001's By the Sea (short and longlisted for the Booker Prize respectively) which explore themes of exile, displacement, belonging and colonialism. He was awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature for his body of work and “for his uncompromising and compassionate penetration of the effects of colonialism and the fates of the refugee in the gulf between cultures and continents”. He lives in Kent, with his wife, the Guyanese-born scholar, Denise de Caires Narain.

Abdulrazak Gurnah was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 2021, as the first African-born writer in almost 20 years, for having, in the jury's reasong, «highlighted the impact of colonialism and the fate of refugees». Now, in his first new novel following the prize, he has turned his focus closer to our own time. The novel has been titled Theft. But what is stolen, and who is the thief?In a postcolonial East Africa in the early 1990s, marked by global change, we meet the oy Badar. He is sent away from his foster parents in Zanzibar to serve a rich family on the mainland, in Dar es Salaam. He feels inferior and ignorant, but is soon embraced by the son of the house, Karim. When Badar is later accused of stealing from his employer, he gets to move in with Karim and his fiancée, Fauzia.In a finely tuned and precise language, Gurnah portrays the deeply human experiences of the three young people, through trials and tribulations as they grow up, and he explores human relations with characteristic empathy and eye for alienation.Abdulrazak Gurnah is professor of postcolonial literature, and the author of eleven novels, among them the critically acclaimed Paradise and Afterlives. Gurnah is a master of allusion, and in an understated language, he creates recognizable, flawed characters, always with a keen eye for those feeling like outsiders.One who has followed Gurnah's writing for years, and also been mentored by him herself, is author and historian Nadifa Mohamed. She joined Gurnah for a conversation about theft and trust, betrayal and belonging.The conversation took place the University of Oslo's Ceremonial Hall.The event is supported by NORAD.

Abdulrazak Gurnah ble tildelt Nobelprisen i litteratur i 2021, som første afrikansk-fødte forfatter på nær 20 år, blant annet for å ha «belyst kolonialismens virkning og flyktningers skjebne». Nå er han aktuell med sin første nye roman etter Nobel-tildelingen, og da har han beveget seg langt nærmere vår tid. Romanen (til norsk ved Ragnhild Eikli) har fått tittelen Tyveri. Men hva blir stjålet, og hvem er tyven?I et postkolonialt Øst-Afrika preget av omveltning tidlig på 1990-tallet, møter vi gutten Badar. Han sendes vekk fra Zanzibar av fosterforeldrene for å tjene hos en rik familie på fastlandet, i Dar-es-Salaam. Her føler han seg underlegen og uvitende, men blir snart tatt inn i varmen av sønnen i huset, Karim, og når Badar senere beskyldes for tyveri av arbeidsgiveren, får han flytte inn hos Karim og hans forlovede, Fauzia.I et finslipt og presist språk skildrer Gurnah de dypt menneskelige erfaringene til de tre unge gjennom oppvekst og prøvelser, og utforsker menneskelige relasjoner, med karakteristisk empati og blikk for ulikhet og utenforskap.Abdulrazak Gurnah er professor i postkolonial litteratur, og forfatter av elleve romaner, deriblant de kritikerroste Paradis og Etterliv. Gurnah er en antydningens mester, og gjennom et lavmælt språk skaper han svært gjenkjennelige karakterer, med feil og mangler, hele tiden med et særlig øye for dem som kjenner seg fremmedgjorte av omgivelsene.En av dem som har fulgt Gurnahs forfatterskap, og attpåtil hatt ham som mentor, er forfatterkollega og historiker Nadifa Mohamed. Her møter hun Gurnah til samtale om tyveri og svik, tillit og tilhørighet.Samtalen er på engelsk, og fant sted i Universitetets aula.Arrangementet er støttet av NORAD. Hosted on Acast.

On this episode of World Book Club Harriett Gilbert talks with nobel Laureate Abdulrzak Gurnah about his hauntingly beautiful novel ‘Paradise' It tells the story of Yusuf, a 12 year-old boy living in East Africa at the beginning of the 20th century. Sold off to settle his father's debts, Yusaf embarks on a journey across the African continent. Through his naive and innocent eyes, the journey starts out as an adventure, but every wonderous thing Yusuf sees, every glimpse of paradise, is polluted by violence, the growing influence of colonialism, and the looming spectre of the First World War. This is a stunning novel - a multi-faceted, vivid exploration of the shifting culture of Africa at the turn of the century. It's layered with mythology, Biblical and Koranic symbolism, and an unflinching insight into the effects of colonialism. Abdulrazak will be answering our listeners' questions here on World Book Club.

In his latest novel, Theft, he returns to the streets of his childhood home in Zanzibar, to trace the intertwined lives of three young people in a story of love, betrayal and kindness. The Possibility of Tenderness is a memoir by the prize-winning poet Jason Allen-Paisant as he moves from his family home in the rural Jamaican hills, to Oxford's gleaming spires, to the woodlands of Leeds. It's a story about the transformative power of plants and the legacy of dreams.

En Afrique du Sud, la fondation Nelson Mandela a invité, à l'occasion de sa 22ème conférence annuelle, l'auteur d'origine tanzanienne Abdulrazak Gurnah, prix Nobel de littérature 2021, à venir parler des questions d'identité, de migration, et d'appartenance. L'écrivain installé au Royaume-Uni a publié dix romans, dont Près de la mer, qui a reçu le prix RFI « Témoin du monde » en 2007. Il continue toujours à écrire et un nouvel ouvrage devrait sortir en mars, en anglais. Il répond, à l'occasion de son déplacement à Johannesburg, aux questions de Claire Bargelès. RFI : Abdulrazak Gurnah, bonjour. Quel message avez-vous envie de transmettre, cette année, au travers de cette plateforme offerte par la Fondation Nelson Mandela, qui a vu défiler par le passé des figures comme Desmond Tutu et Barack Obama ?Pour être honnête, je n'ai pas écouté ce qu'ils ont dit, mais je peux très bien l'imaginer, car lorsque l'on doit connecter son discours au nom de Nelson Mandela, on va forcément parler de justice ou des ressources que l'on peut déployer face à l'oppression et la terreur.Ayant vous-même quitté Zanzibar en 1967, pour un meilleur avenir en Angleterre, vos écrits parlent beaucoup de l'exil, de l'étranger qui arrive dans un nouveau pays, pour trouver refuge. Est-ce aussi un message pour l'Afrique du Sud en proie aux tensions xénophobes ?Cette question ne concerne pas uniquement l'Afrique du Sud, ces mêmes problèmes touchent beaucoup d'autres endroits, en Europe, en Amérique du Nord. C'est un phénomène important de notre époque, car on observe de larges déplacements de populations. Ce n'est pas quelque chose de nouveau dans notre histoire humaine, mais désormais le mouvement se fait des pays du Sud vers les pays du Nord. Et cela a créé une panique. Certains y répondent de façon humaine, mais pas tous.Votre conférence s'intitule « une exploration de notre humanité partagée » : souhaitez-vous remettre l'accent sur le concept sud-africain de l'« Ubuntu », basé sur la solidarité et le fait de se reconnaître en l'autre ?Je suppose que oui. Mais ce n'est pas parce qu'on l'appelle ici « Ubuntu » que c'est une invention sud-africaine, d'autres endroits ont le même concept, sous un autre nom. Cela se résume, en fait, à la même chose, à cette idée que l'on doit apprendre à recevoir l'autre, dans nos cœurs et nos esprits, et à ne pas créer de barrières. En d'autres mots, il faut réaliser qu'il y a tant de choses que l'on a en commun. Parmi les façons d'y parvenir, on peut lire les histoires d'autres gens, pour mieux les connaître, écouter leur musique et comprendre leurs problèmes.Votre œuvre revient également sur les traces laissées par la colonisation, sur le poids du passé : diriez-vous que ces questions de mémoire continuent de travailler l'Afrique dans son ensemble ?Je ne pense pas que cela se cantonne à l'Afrique, ce sont des questions essentielles. Lorsqu'un auteur écrit sur la migration des Irlandais aux États-Unis, c'est la même démarche, pour essayer de comprendre la signification de s'établir ailleurs, et d'être un étranger dans un autre pays. Mais comme je l'ai dit tout à l'heure, cela concerne les Africains d'une façon beaucoup plus dramatique, et les habitants du Sud en général, qui partent en grand nombre, en quête d'une vie meilleure. Les Européens ont fait ça pendant des siècles, se rendant en Amérique du Nord, en Australie, en Afrique du Sud… Et ils ont forcé les personnes qu'ils ont trouvées sur place à se déplacer, ou les ont parfois tuées. Donc ce n'est pas un nouveau phénomène.Que vous a apporté votre prix Nobel, reçu il y a trois ans ? Qu'est-ce qui a changé depuis ?Cela m'a rendu très heureux. Pour beaucoup de gens dans le monde, mon travail est devenu intéressant et j'ai désormais nombre de nouveaux lecteurs, dans des langues différentes. Et puis, c'est aussi, bien sûr, une sorte d'affirmation, comme si quelqu'un vous disait « je pense que tu es un très bon écrivain », donc merci beaucoup !Vous êtes le cinquième auteur du continent africain à recevoir le prix Nobel de littérature : existe-t-il encore une sous-exposition des écrivains africains et avez-vous un souhait de voir quelqu'un, en particulier, être récompensé à votre suite le 10 octobre prochain ?Je n'aime pas vraiment ces questions qui rattachent les auteurs au pays d'où ils viennent, car cela nous ramène à des divisions continentales ou nationales. On parle de ces cinq Prix africains, mais je crois qu'il n'y a eu, par exemple, qu'un seul prix indien. Aujourd'hui, cela n'a plus vraiment à voir avec le pays d'origine, ce qui est reconnu, c'est la qualité de l'écriture, pas si cet écrivain vient d'Afrique ou d'ailleurs. Bien sûr, je souhaite que beaucoup d'autres auteurs du continent reçoivent le Prix, mais je voudrais surtout qu'ils le reçoivent parce qu'ils le méritent.En ce qui concerne la Tanzanie, êtes-vous inquiet de voir les autorités durcir leurs positions l'égard des opposants politiques ?Pour être tout à fait honnête, je ne connais pas les détails des récentes affaires. Le gouvernement est assez réticent à l'idée de tolérer l'opposition, mais il apprend peu à peu à le faire. Donc, dans un sens, il y a du progrès, puisqu'il essaye de comprendre comment laisser les partis d'opposition fonctionner. Cependant, il est vrai qu'à partir d'un certain point, il se dit qu'il doit intervenir et les arrêter. Mais, honnêtement, ce n'est pas un sujet que je connais très bien.Abdurazak Gurnah, merci beaucoup

作为2021年的诺贝尔文学奖得主,阿卜杜勒拉扎克·古尔纳拒绝每一个既定标签。他深谙后殖民理论,却从不迎合西方对殖民叙事的刻板期待;他书写故乡,却不断质疑着迁徙年代我们对家园的想象;出乎所有人意料获得诺奖,却依然按照自己的节奏笔耕不缀,丝毫不受“诅咒”的影响,甚至刚刚写完了一本书。 2024年3月,古尔纳受邀来到中国。本期节目,跳岛将呈现古尔纳在上海思南文学之家与著名中国作家、第十一届茅盾文学奖得主孙甘露的对谈。 在古尔纳获得诺奖之前,鲜有中国读者听过他的名字,而被问及对中国文学有何印象时,他则坦言“在英国书店庞杂的翻译门类里找到来自中国的文本并不容易”。某种程度上,这次对谈也是两个生生不息的写作传统在“世界文学”版图边缘的一次相遇和对视。 时至今日,当背井离乡成为无数人共享的命运,文学对离散者和异乡人的书写更应该回归他们的复杂世界。一片跨越海洋的碎瓷曾将两个如此不同的文明牵系一处,阅读和写作也会让我们涉足地球另一端、被历史放逐的人生。

Abdulrazak Gurnah won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2021, honouring a career in which he's written ten novels, and many short stories and essays. He's an Emeritus Professor at the University of Kent. He was born in 1948 on the island of Zanzibar off the coast of East Africa, and first came to Britain as a refugee at the age of 18, in the aftermath of the Zanzibar Revolution. In his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, he recalled how, even as a young schoolboy, he loved writing stories. He also reflected on how his move to England changed everything: "there", he said, "in my homesickness and amidst the anguish of a stranger's life… I began to do a different kind of writing. There was a task to be done." Abdulrazak's musical choices include Shostakovich, Mendelssohn, Miles Davis and the Malian kora player, Toumani Diabaté.

People often like to introduce novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah as a writer who tackles the traumas and aftereffects of colonialism, especially in East Africa. But in accepting the Nobel Prize for literature last year, he made space for the fullness of all lives, not least those living in traumatic places. “Writing cannot be just about battling and polemics, however invigorating and comforting that can be,” he said. “Writing is not about one thing, not about this issue or that, or this concern or another, and since its concern is human life in one way or another, sooner or later cruelty and love and weakness become its subject.” We'll talk to Gurnah about his gorgeous novel "After Lives" which is being published in the U.S. this month. Guests: Abdulrazak Gurnah, novelist and author, "After Lives" - winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature
