Stories from the South: 'By the Sea' by Abdulrazak Gurnah
About
This month we read 'By the Sea' (2001), the sixth novel by 2021 Nobel Laureate for Literature, Abdulrazak Gurnah. 'By the Sea' traces the entwined lives of Saleh Omar, a refugee from Zanzibar seeking political asylum in Britain, and Latif Mahmud, another Tanzanian exile. Both are living under assumed identities, and their eventual encounter re-awakens traumatic memories of the past. The novel is a lyrical exploration of the nature of memory and the fragmented identities of those exiled from home. Discussion at our in-person meeting will be facilitated by scholars Kai Easton, David Osu Ishaya, and Morgan Nunan.Location
