Ranging from the centrality of materiality in Paradise to explorations of time and space, as well as affect – encompassing emotions such as laughter and shame – across Paradise and other works, these contributions offer original perspectives and methodologies. They also examine the stakes of translating Gurnah’s work into Kiswahili. Together, they deepen our understanding of Gurnah’s nuanced and complex novels.
