Prizes: Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature shortlist

       They've narrowed down the contenders for the Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature in Africa -- a pan-African prize which they try to sell a bit too hard as 'Africa's Nobel' (and whose US $20,000 prize is decent, but not even in the Nigeria Prize for Literature ballpark ...) -- and announced the three-title-strong shortlist (warning ! dreaded pdf format !). (They announced this a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't see it mentioned anywhere .....)
       The three books are:

• Roses and Bullets by Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo
• The Unseen Leopard by Bridget Pitt
• Young Blood by Sifiso Mzobe
