Man Booker Award
Literary awards may generate little stir here in the United States, but the Man Booker Prize draws Oscar-like attention in Great Britain and the other Commonwealth nations. The Line of Beauty, by Alan Hollinghurst, was this week’s surprise winner, a dark horse that oddsmakers (yes, they actually do a brisk business on this) had dismissed in favor of Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell. Hollinghurst’s novel is set in 1980s Thatcherite Britain and concerns the search for love and sex amid the ravages of AIDS.
