Anne Enright - Premiul Booker 2007 + lista castigatorilor premiului Booker

Imagine
Irish writer Anne Enright won the Man Booker fiction prize Tuesday for "The Gathering," an uncompromising portrait of a troubled family. She is the second Irish writer to win the prize in the past three years, after John Banville's "The Sea" in 2005. Enright had been considered a long-shot to take Britain's most prestigious, and contentious, literary trophy. The award, which carries a prize of $100,000, was bestowed during a ceremony at London's medieval Guildhall. "The Gathering" is a family epic set in England and Ireland, in which a brother's suicide prompts 39-year-old Veronica Hegarty to probe her family's troubled, tangled history. The judges praised it as "a very accomplished and dramatic novel of family relationships and personal breakdown." Enright said people looking for a cheery read should not pick up her book. "It is the intellectual equivalent of a Hollywood weepy," she said.
