British author Alan Hollinghurst has won the French publishing world’s best foreign book prize for his fifth novel, titled “The Stranger’s Child“.
“The Stranger’s Child”, a 700-page novel which took Hillinghust four years to write, follows three generations of the same family from 1913 to 2008.
The novel focuses on the evolution of British society, class relations and homosexuality. The board of examiners judged “This is the best English novel at present”.
He won the Somerset Maugham prize with his novel “The Swimming Pool Library” (1988) and the 2004 Man Booker Prize for “The Line of Beauty”.
The French publishing world’s best foreign book prize was first awarded in 1948 to “Confession of a Justified Sinner” by Scotland James Hogg. In 2012, the prize was awarded for “The Retrospective” by Israel writer Avraham Yahoshua./.
