South African · b. 1944
Christopher Hope has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize twice—for "Kruger's Alp" in 1984 and "Serenity House" in 1992. The South African–born British author writes fiction and poetry about apartheid's legacy and the aftermath of totalitarianism. Hope's work combines satirical bite with moral seriousness, refusing to let history's crimes be forgotten.
