Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀ (born 29 January 1988) is a Nigerian writer.[1] Her 2017 debut novel, Stay With Me, won the 9mobile Prize for Literature and the Prix Les Afriques.[2] She was awarded The Future Awards Africa Prize for Arts and Culture in 2017.[3]
Early years
Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀ was born in Lagos, Nigeria, in 1988; shortly after, her family moved to Ilesa and then to Ile-Ife, where she spent most of her childhood in the University Staff Quarters of Obafemi Awolowo University.[4]
Writing career
Adébáyọ̀ studied at Obafemi Awolowo University, earning BA and MA degrees in Literature in English. She went to study Creative Writing (MA Prose fiction) at the University of East Anglia, where she was awarded an International Bursary.[5][6] She has also studied writing with Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Margaret Atwood.[7][8]
In 2015, Adébáyọ̀ was listed by the Financial Times as one of the bright stars of Nigerian literature.[9]
Her debut novel, Stay With Me, was published in 2017 by Canongate Books to critical acclaim.[10][11][12] Michiko Kakutani in her review of Stay With Me for The New York Times described Adébáyọ̀ as "an exceptional storyteller", adding: "She writes not just with extraordinary grace but with genuine wisdom about love and loss and the possibility of redemption. She has written a powerfully magnetic and heartbreaking book."[13] The book was subsequently published in the US by Alfred A. Knopf and in Nigeria by Ouida Books. It has been translated into more than 18 languages. It was selected as notable book of the year by several publications, including The New York Times, The Economist, The Wall Street Journal and The Guardian.[14][15]
Stay with Me was shortlisted for the Wellcome Book Prize,[16] the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction,[5][17][18] as well as for the 9mobile Prize for Literature (formerly the Etisalat Prize for Literature),[19] which the novel won in 2019.[20][21] It was also longlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award and the Dylan Thomas Prize.[22]
Prior to publication, the novel had been shortlisted for the Kwani? Manuscript Project,[23][24][25] a prize for unpublished fiction. The series editor is Ellah Wakatama Allfrey.[26]
In 2020, Reste Avec Moi, the French translation of Stay with Me, was awarded the Prix Les Afriques. The translation by Josette Chicheportiche was published in 2019 by Charleston Editions.[27]
Adébáyọ̀ has been a writer in residence at Ledig House Omi, Hedgebrook, Sinthian Cultural Institute, Ox-Bow School of Art, MacDowell Colony and Ebedi Hills.[28][29][30] She was shortlisted for the Miles Morland Scholarship in 2014 and 2015.[25][31][32][33]
In 2021, Adébáyọ̀'s second novel, A Spell of Good Things – described as being "about family secrets and bonds, thwarted hope, and the brutal realities of life in a society rife with inequality" – was announced for publication by Canongate (UK) and Knopf (US).[34] Released in 2023, A Spell of Good Things received favourable review coverage, including in The Observer (where it was described as "immensely readable")[35] and in The New York Times, with Aamina Ahmad noting that "[w]here a raw, dynamic storytelling energized Adébáyò’s prose in 'Stay With Me,' here the graceful, stately quality of the sentences evokes restraint, avoiding sentimentality".[36] It was longlisted for the 2023 Booker Prize.[37]
Personal life
Adébáyọ̀ is married to Emmanuel Iduma.[38]
