Growing up in Tanzania, Abdulrazak Gurnah never thought of the possibility that he might one day be a writer. “I never thought about that,” he said in an interview. “It wasn’t something you could say as you were growing up, ‘I want to be a writer.’ “He thought he would become “something useful, like an engineer.”

Then, in 1964, something terrible forced Gurnah, at age 18, to run away to England. But the new life was not as good as he thought. Unhappy, poor, homesick, he began to write down things about home in his diary, and then longer writings, then stories about other people. Those small thoughts, the habit of writing to understand and record his own loneliness, finally became his first novel, then nine more — works that describe the pain of colonialism （殖民） and war. “The key thing that helps the whole experience of writing for me was this idea of losing your place in the world, “he said. 

On October 7, 2021, Gurnah was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, widely seen as the most famous literary award in the world. His works talked about refugees（难民） and their living conditions. These books help us learn more about differences in culture and countries. 

Gurnah, now 72, is the first black writer to receive the prize since Toni Morrison in 1993, and some people saw. his selection（当选） as a good thing after years of European and American Nobel winners. He is the first African to win the award in more than ten years.

24. What plays the most important role in Gurnah’s writing experience?
