4，澳大利亚 Man Booker Prize: Richard Flanagan wins for wartime love story 澳大利亚作家理查德·弗拉纳根获2014布克奖 2014年10月15日5:20 Australian author Richard Flanagan has won the ￡50,000 Man Booker Prize for his wartime novel The Narrow Road to the Deep North. "It's a remarkable love story as well as story about human suffering and comradeship," said AC Grayling, chair of the judges. Flanagan's novel is set during the construction of the Thailand-Burma Death Railway in World War Two. This was the first year that the Man Booker prize had been open to all authors writing in English, regardless of nationality. Some writers had expressed fears that the change in the rules could lead to dominance by US authors. 被誉为英语文学界最有分量的奖项——布克奖揭晓，澳大利亚作家理查德•弗拉纳根（Richard Flanagan）凭借战争小说《通往北部深处的窄路》斩获本届布克奖桂冠并获得5万英镑奖励。 布克奖评委会主席格雷林（AC Grayling）表示，“这是一部了不起的爱情小说，也是一部描写人类苦难和战士情谊的小说。” 这部小说是以二战时修建泰缅“死亡铁路”为背景展开的。 今年布克奖首次面向所有英语作家，不论国籍（最初的布克奖只对英国，爱尔兰和英联邦国家开放）。有些作家担心开放布克奖评选范围可能会美国作家奖项全揽。
