Author of the Month: Caleb Azumah Nelson
For the June edition of our monthly reading series, organised by Writers Project of Ghana in collaboration with our partners Goethe-Institut Ghana, we are proud to feature author Caleb Azumah Nelson reading from his latest novel, Small Worlds.
Caleb Azumah Nelson is a twenty-nine-year-old British-Ghanaian writer and photographer living in South East London. His first novel, Open Water, won the Costa First Novel Award and Debut of the Year at the British Book Awards, and was a number-one Times bestseller. It also won the Bad Form Book of the Year Award, a Betty Trask Award and a Somerset Maugham Award, and was shortlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize, the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award, Waterstones Book of the Year, and longlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize and the Desmond Elliott Prize. Caleb was selected as a National Book Foundation ‘5 under 35’ honoree by Brit Bennett.
