Nuruddin Farah, one of the world's most eminent writers, has been exiled
from his native Somalia since 1976. His works have investigated
questions of social justice, subalternity, racism, neo-imperialistic
power, gender relations and the subjugation of women in patriarchal
society.  A prolific author, he has lived in various nations across many
continents, remaining faithful to his lifelong literary project: keeping
his country alive by writing about it. The recipient of the 1998
Neustadt International Prize for Literature, his latest novel, Knots,
was published in 2007.
