The jury said the novel is told in meditative, nuanced and powerful prose and marks the arrival of an extraordinary new literary voice.

As all the shortlisted novels had considerable strengths and remarkable literary quality, deciding the winner was not an easy task.” She said the jury agreed that Arudpragasam was the best possible choice for his outstanding novel which is “impressive for its intensity and rich detail, and for exploring the tragic heart of war with such quiet eloquence.” “It is also a testament to the redemptive power of love, and to the human spirit’s capacity for hope,” she added. The Story of a Brief Marriage is published by Granta Books. The other shortlisted authors were Anjali Joseph for The Living, Aravind Adiga for Selection Day, Karan Mahajan for The Association of Small Bombs and Stephen Alter for In the Jungles of the Night.
