For many years, Abdulrazak Gurnah used this English dictionary all the time when writing. Gurnah grew up in Zanzibar, and his first language was Swahili. During the Zanzibar Revolution in the 1960s, he fled to the UK, and English became his literary language. He acquired the dictionary in the early 1980s. Nowadays, computers have made physical dictionaries obsolete, and Gurnah donated his dictionary to the Nobel Prize Museum.
