And the Winner of the Folio Prize is…
… Family Life by Akhil Sharma.
While I have yet to write-up my reviews of three of the eight finalists, I have read all the nominees and Family Life is definitely a deserving winner. It’s a powerful novel about the immigrant experience, assimilation and dealing with disability. A review is forthcoming.
In the meantime I draw your attention to this review of two of the Folio finalists - All My Puny Sorrows and the Dept. of Speculation - on the @Number 71 blog. The post makes some salient points that I’m going to refer back to it when I do a round-up of the Folio finalists.
