Nigerian-born H.B Asari and 27 other writers have made the shortlist for 2023 Commonwealth Short Story Prize.
The 28 shortlisted writers come from 19 countries across the Commonwealth. The international judging panel selected them from over 6,642 writers who submitted their stories.
Arboretum is Asari’s work that made the shortlist. It is a short story that interrogates grief both collective and personal, and asks, ‘How do we pick ourselves up and keep going in the face of overwhelming tragedy.’
Arboretum will be competing for the regional prize against Price Tags by Buke Abduba from Kenya, Mama Blue by Michael Boyd, South Africa and Falling from a knife tree, Matshediso Radebe also from South Africa.
Turpis cursus in hac habitasse platea. Lacus vel facilisis volutpat est velit. Sit amet risus nullam eget felis eget nunc. Dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit pellentesque habitant. Id interdum velit laoreet id donec ultrices tincidunt arcu non. Pretium vulputate sapien nec sagittis. Molestie ac feugiat sed lectus vestibulum mattis.
There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning failure. – OLIVER SANDERO
