Booker Prize winner announced

Jun 13 2007

He beat out the likes of Philip Roth and Margaret Atwood to win the Man Booker International Prize. Nigeria author Chinua Achebe took that honor. On June 28, he will be presented with 60,000pounds in Oxford. Not bad for a man who is paralyzed from the waist down. Achebe’s most well known work is his debut novel Things Fall Apart (aff link).

Congratulations to Chinua Achebe!!!
