A future that slips through the fingers

Abdulrazak Gurnah’s ‚Theft‘ unfolds in the quiet spaces of everyday life — where dreams collide with reality, where change arrives silently, and where the future dissolves before anyone can grasp it. In our new review, we explore how Gurnah traces the fragile hopes of Tanzanian youth, the weight of economic pressure, and the subtle violence of global tourism. A novel of small moments and deep resonance.
