Against all the odds, and seeing off competition from favourites to win Ian McEwan and Lloyd Jones, rank outsider Anne Enright, 45, has been awarded the Man Booker prize for what the judges called a "powerful, uncomfortable and even at times angry book", The Gathering.
For that, some might read depressing and harrowing. She herself told Radio 4's Today: "When people pick up a book they may want something happy that will cheer them up. In that case they shouldn't really pick up my book. It's the intellectual equivalent of a Hollywood weepie".
Just ctrl c plus ctrl v to publish this info. courtesy of Google and the Guardian. Seeing I mentioned Ian McEwan's great book a couple of day's again. Naturally, was hoping for Kiwi
Lloyd Jones to be named -now I'll have to catch up with Anne Enright' s books.
I have made some mosaics on Flickr ( using bighugelabs) but I'm on dial up at home so when I tried to add them to site my system timed out. I'll have to try to repeat it at work if I can get time.
