Now in its nineteenth year the Caine Prize for African Writing is
Africa's leading literary prize, and is awarded to a short story by
an African writer published in English, whether in Africa or
elsewhere. Kenyan writer Makena Onjerika is the 2018 winner for her
short story entitled "Fanta Blackcurrant". This collection brings
together the five 2018 shortlisted stories, along with stories
written at the Caine Prize Writers' Workshop, taking place April
2018.; The prize was launched in 2000 to encourage and highlight
the richness and diversity of African writing by bringing it to a
wider audience internationally. The focus on the short story
reflects the contemporary development of the African story-telling
tradition.; Judges are drawn from different literary fields
including eminent journalists, broadcasters and academics with
expertise and a connection to literature in Africa. Five stories
are selected for the shortlist by the judges.;The 2018 judging
panel comprises: Dinaw Mengestu, journalist, author and graduate of
Georgetown University and of Columbia University's M.F.A programme
in fiction; Alain Mabanckou, prolific Francophone Congolese poet
and novelist and Man Booker International Prize finalist (2015);
reporter, columnist and poet Ahmed Rajab; Henrietta Rose-Innes, a
South African author who won the Caine Prize in 2008; Lola
Shoneyin, a Nigerian writer who has won the Ken Saro-Wiwa Prose
