Memory Of Departure by Abdulrazak Gurnah
A young man raised in a conservative coastal East African community grows restless and determined to escape the confines of family, tradition and the colonial-tinged society around him; the narrative follows his inward and outward journey as he pursues education, wrestles with questions of identity, belonging and language, and ultimately prepares to leave home in search of a wider world, exposing the tensions of postcolonial displacement, memory and longing.
