About me
Hello, my name is Kiprop Kimutai. I am a Kenyan writer whose fiction has appeared in The Evergreen Review, The Johannesburg Review of Books, Kwani? Trust, Jalada Africa, Painted Bride Quarterly and No Tokens.
I was a 2023 Miles Morland Scholar, a 2019 Maison Baldwin fellow and has been a finalist for the Gerald Kraak award. Currently am working on my début novel, THE FREEDOM OF BIRDS, which won the 2023 Graywolf Press African Fiction Prize, and a collection of stories themed around desire and alienation.
