McEwan Interviewed about the Man Booker Prize

The Man Booker Prize Website features an interview with Ian McEwan titled, "A ‘first time’ as awesome as Booker night".

From the Interview:

"I’m delighted to be shortlisted for ‘On Chesil Beach’ – without question, it’s a great honour. The evening itself can be quite an ordeal for the writers. Writing is no more a competitive sport than reading is. I’ve often thought that the Booker Prize should be even more august, like the Nobel – do away with the shortlist, announce the winner and fiver other commended writers then have a celebratory feast."
