Man Booker Prize Winner 2015

Hello Gentle Reader

Because of some internet issues, I was unable to post, the winner of this year’s Man Booker Prize, yesterday.

This year’s winner though is the Jamaican writer Marlon James for his novel: “A Brief History of Seven Killings.”

This is the first time in the Booker Prize’s history that a Jamaican writer has taken the award – and for Marlon James, this most certainly is validation that he has become a accomplished writer; after his debut “John Crow’s Devil,” was reportedly rejected by seventy-eight publishers.

Congratulations Marlon James, for winning this year’s Man Booker Prize.

Thank-you For Reading Gentle Reader
Take Care
And As Always
Stay Well Read
