This content focuses on Caine Prize 2006 Anthology and related topics.
Last year, my story “The Fanatic” was shortlisted for the Caine Prize for African Writing, along with pieces by Sefi Atta, Darrel Bristow-Bovey, Muthoni Garland, and Mary Watson. The finalists’ work appears in a new anthology, titled Jungfrau and Other Short Stories, and it can be ordered from Amazon.co.uk. I believe the book also contains selected stories by writers who have attended the annual Caine Prize workshop, held in Kenya in mid-spring. (There’s a brief mention of this in Boyd Tonkin’s column in the Independent.)
