''A Life Elsewhere '' is a collection of short stories by Nigerian writer Segun Afolabi, first published in 2006.〔http://catalogue.bl.uk/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do?dscnt=0&frbg=&scp.scps=scope%3A%28BLCONTENT%29&tab=local_tab&dstmp=1437148123446&srt=rank&ct=search&mode=Basic&vl%28488279563UI0%29=any&dum=true&tb=t&indx=1&vl%28freeText0%29=a%20life%20elsewhere&vid=BLVU1&fn=search〕 ==Synopsis== This collection comprises seventeen stories about refugees, migrants and exiles from the modern African Diaspora. Set in various cities and countries around the world, the exact setting in each story is rarely specifically named, thereby placing the reader in the position of the exile. A vague feeling of strangeness and of alienation and simply not belonging pervades the stories. They are about people adrift in a world they do not completely understand, glad to have escaped their past, yet wishing they could return to it.〔http://newint.org/columns/media/books/2006/07/01/life-elsewhere/〕 The first story, Monday Morning, about a family of asylum seekers living in a seedy hotel near London’s Regents Park, won the 2005 Caine Prize for African Writing.〔http://www.theguardian.com/books/2006/may/20/featuresreviews.guardianreview19〕
