This is a story of dystopia — an account of the dead-end of life in which a game, and the honour associated with it, can easily become life-threatening.
Olufemi was shortlisted along with Kenya's Lily Mabura, South Africans Ken Barris and Alex Smith and Zambian Namwali Serpell.
A well travelled man who has lived in Nigeria, the UK, Cote d'Ivoire, Kenya, Somalia and Uganda, Olufemi — like many "new" African writers — has also found Cape Town hospitable.
Stickfighting Days first appeared in Chimurenga, an experimental and revolutionary periodical published out of Cape Town.
Olufemi's winning story, like that of the 2009 winner E.C Osondu, is told from the point of view of a child, and is by a West African.
The 2008 winner Henrietta Rose-Innes and the 2007 winner Monica Arac de Frank Gore Nyeko were from South and East Africa, respectively.
Two Kenyans, Parselelo Kantai and Mukoma wa Ngugi, were shortlisted in 2009.
The question of the subject matter of these stories and the regional distribution of the winners seem to be fertile grounds for speculation on the background dynamics that determine the long list of the entries, the shortlist and the eventual winner.
