[[/]]May 18th, 2011 American novelist Philip Roth was named the winner of the prestigious Man Booker International Prize Wednesday at the Sydney Writers' Festival in Australia. Roth has written more than two dozen novels during his five-decade literary career, starting with his critically acclaimed debut "Goodbye, Columbus" in 1959. His other works include 1969's "Portnoy's Complaint," and the late 1990s trilogy made up of "American Pastoral," "I Married a Communist" and "The Human Stain." Rick Gekoski, the chair of the judging panel, said Roth's works have "stimulated, provoked and amused" a growing audience. Unlike the annual Man Booker Prize given to a single work of fiction, the Man Booker International Prize is awarded every two years for an author's lifetime body of work. Other recipients have included Nigeria's Chinua Achebe and Alice Munro of Canada. Roth has won many of the United States' prestigious literary awards, including the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. Roth beat out several other acclaimed fiction writers for the $100,000 prize, including compatriot Anne Tyler, Australian David Malouf, Su Tong of China, and Britain's John LeCarre. LeCarre asked that his name be withdrawn from consideration, but the judges refused his request. Roth will receive the award at a ceremony in London in June. Posted in East Asia Pacific Source: VOA
