Books Activities swirling around this year’s edition of The Nigeria Literature Prize (sponsored by NLNG) have started revving up with its advisory board’s recent announcement of a shortlist of 11. This shortlist – which not a few literary enthusiasts would rather call a longlist – was drawn from 202 entries in contention for this year’s – 2021 – edition of the prize.
