Sunday 23rd February….The winner of the Etisalat Prize for Literature, the first Pan African prize for Literature will be announced on this day. Huge anticipation for the three finalists shortlisted – Yewande Omotoso for Bom Boy, Karen Jennings for Finding Soutbek and NoViolet Bulawayo for We need New Names.
Here’s the link to the Etisalat website: http://etisalatprize.com
Fingers Crossed… I am really hoping to attend the ceremony, if I can convince one of the judges – Kenya’s Billy Kahora whom I personally know to get me in. If not, perhaps I can find him later to do a Q & A on this after all the glam is done and winners announced.
