They've announced that The Narrow Road to the Deep North (by Richard Flanagan) has been awarded the 2014 Man Booker Prize for Fiction.
See also Flanagan's acceptance speech, as well as a fairly recent Q & A Dwyer Murphy has at Guernica with Richard Flanagan: More Corpses Than Words.
Two Flanagan titles are under review at the complete review -- Gould's Book of Fish and Wanting -- but I can't see myself getting to this one: POWs, forced labor, etc.: all not realy subject-matter I want to read at any length about (in a work of fiction).
But see the publicity pages for the book at Chatto & Windus and Alfred A. Knopf, or get your copy at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk.
