Indian Novel 'Tomb of Sand' Wins International Booker Prize

, Wins the International Booker Prize

Translator Frank Wynne, who chaired the judging panel, said the judges “overwhelmingly” chose “Tomb of Sand” after “a very passionate debate.” “It manages to take issues of great seriousness — bereavement, loss, death — and conjure up an extraordinary choir, almost a cacophony, of voices,” he said.Shree’s book beat five other finalists including Polish Nobel literature laureate Olga Tokarczuk, Claudia Piñeiro of Argentina and South Korean author Bora Chung to be awarded the prize at a ceremony in London.

Wynne said the prize aimed to show that at “literature in translation is not some form of cod liver oil that is supposed to be good for you.”

Monty Don left puzzled by top prize at Chelsea Flower ShowMonty Don has questioned whether this year's winning show garden at the Chelsea Flower Show was a 'real garden' at all, featuring what appears to be a shed and a pile of sticks. Totally agree, worst alleged 'Show Gardens' ever. All a touch of the Emperors New Clothes. The Chelsea Woke show has now hit a new low. Not surprised!
