South African author Damon Galgut has won the 2021 Booker Prize for Fiction for his novel The Promise.
Accepting the prize, Galgut, said: “This has been a great year for African writing, and I’d like to accept this on behalf of all the stories told and untold, the writers heard and unheard, from the remarkable continent I'm part of. Please keep listening to us, there's a lot more to come.”
