Truly honoured to be part of this family that thinks with the heart and feels with the mind. It was an absolute honour to be part of the Nobel in Africa Symposium, the first ever Nobel Symposium outside of Scandinavia. History is made!!!
And, of course, #Mashariki played with dynamite, too! @EALCS_Mashariki here are your folks shining at the Nobel in Africa Symposium held at @STIAS_SA, sponsored by the Nobel Foundation. @AdhiamboKE we're enchanted by your writing! @GodwinSiundu @ChilledAcademic @asante_lucy

It was truly a historic gathering with exciting discussions. Many thanks to Tina, Maria Olaussen, Louise Green, and Abdulrazak Gurnah for the meticulous planning and all, and thanks too to Jackie Kosgei for archiving this event.
In a rare ocassion, Africa's best writers & Africa's best scholars converged @STIAS_SA in Stellenbosch for the Nobel in Africa Symposium, headlined by Nobel Laureates Abdulrazak Gurnah (2021) & J.M. Coetzee (2003), who gave the @StellenboschUni Chancellor's Public Lecture
When they write the history of African literature, there will be a chapter on 3-7 Nov. 2025. This week, 50 writers & critics gathered for the #NobelinAfrica2025 @STIAS_SA. This was the first time that the Nobel Symposium is held outside of Scandinavia. stias.ac.za/events/nobel-s…
Our editor Tina Steiner was co-convener of the #NobelinAfrica2025, alongside Louise Green, Maria Olaussen & Nobel Laureate Abdulrazak Gurnah. We were happy to also have our editors @GodwinSiundu & Lynda Spencer in attendance. EALCS is witness to this historical moment! @STIAS_SA
Nobel in Africa Symposium ‘25 has parallels with Paris ‘56 and Makerere ‘62. Last evening, among other invite-only guests, I listened to two of the finest African writers, JM Coetzee and Abdulrazak Gurnah, moderated by Prof Stefan Helgesson. #NobelinAfrica2025
