Eleanor Catton wins the Man Booker Prize 2013

Eleanor Catton has become the youngest writer to win the Man Booker Prize, with the longest novel to triumph in the award.

”Shadowland is not only an important historical novel, documenting the corruption, indifference and impunity that defined the final years of communist rule in West Bengal, it is also a significant anthropological document, rich in detail of the economic, religious, familial, political, and social realities of ordinary life on the periphery of post-colonial Kolkata. It is also an entertaining and well-written story of one man's struggle against the absurdities of modern life.” Janam Mukherjee, PhD Anthropology and History, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
