John Le Carré var nominerad för Man Booker International Award, men bad att bli
borttagen från nmomineringslistan: "I don't compete for literary Awards"
förklarar han.

"John le Carré has been nominated for the Man Booker International prize, which
recognises an author's lifetime contribution to fiction, but the British writer
has asked to be taken off the shortlist as he "doesn't compete for literary
awards".
Le Carré, the author of more than 20 books that helped define the spy genre in
fiction and film, including The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and The Constant
Gardener, was among 13 writers named as finalists.
The £60,000 prize is awarded every two years to a living writer for overall
contribution to fiction. It is connected to, but separate from, the
better-known Man Booker prize for fiction, which is awarded each year to a
specific book."

Ps. SVT:s "Kulturnyheterna" tog också upp saken. (Och f ö anser jag att man kan
VISST tävla om litterära priser.)
