Stephen Buoro was born in Nigeria in 1993. He has an MA in creative writing from the University of East Anglia as well as a first class degree in Mathematics, and is a recipient of the Booker Prize Foundation Scholarship. He was awarded second place in the 2020 Deborah Rogers Foundation Writers Award, and is currently studying for a fully-funded PhD in Creative & Critical Writing at UEA. The Five Sorrowful Mysteries of Andy Africa is his first novel.

This is extraordinary, driven by a gloriously eccentric central character. It is utterly compelling, not shy about posing difficult questions for the reader
