An awards ceremony known as the "African Booker" will take place at the University of Kent this month. The Caine Prize for African Writing will celebrate its tenth anniversary with a public event at the Canterbury campus on 13 October, chaired by Abdulrazak Gurnah, author of Booker Prize-shortlisted novel Paradise (1994), and professor of postcolonial literature at Kent. The prize is awarded for a short story by an African writer published in English.
