Ian McEWAN and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize
THE 2005 James Tait Black Memorial Prize, Britain’s oldest literary prizes, have been awarded to Ian McEwan and Sue Prideaux. McEwan was given the fiction prize for his novel, Saturday (2005), while Prideaux won the biography prize for Edvard Munch: Behind The Scream (2005), about the Norwegian artist.
I am a senior book and magazine editor who lives in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I love books and the freedom to read whatever makes me happy: both fiction and nonfiction. I have always been obsessed with the relationship between literature and life and its role in society. As an editor, I have edited many books, but never get tired of the grand adventure of reading. We must never underestimate the redeeming power of fiction in our lives. The idea that there is something out there that is far, far bigger than our lives sustains some of our lives. I am the co-editor of URBAN ODYSSEYS: KL STORIES.
