Keiron Smith wins for Kelman
The BBC tells me:
A book charting the life of a young boy in post-war Glasgow has won the Scottish Book of the Year award.
Kieron Smith, boy, by Glasgow author James Kelman, a former Booker Prize winner, netted him the £30,000 award.
The winner was announced at the Borders Book Festival in Melrose, hosted by writer and comedian Rory Bremner.
Mr Kelman said it was "an honour" to win the award for the novel, which was described as a "masterpiece" by the judging panel.PermalinkFiled Under: art, biography, blogosphere, blogs, bookreview, bookworld, bookdepository, bookseller_redux, debate, internet, interviews, literary festivals, literary prizes, news, poetry, press_releases, publishers, R.I.P., readysteadybook, something_for_the_weekend, technology, tuesday_top_ten, twitter, Uncategorized, whatonawednesday, writing, YouTube
