Teju Cole and Helon Habila have won the 2015 Donald Windham-Sandy M. Campbell literature prizes in the fiction category.

The Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library announced the winners of the Literature Prizes at Yale. The writers, who hail from nine countries, were chosen confidentially in three categories — fiction, non-fiction and drama.

Honoured for their literary achievements as well as their potential, the winners will each receive $150,000 to support their work.
