The International Booker Prize is awarded annually for a single book, translated into English and published in the UK or Ireland.
The Booker Prize exist to reward the finest in fiction. The symmetrical relationship between the Booker Prize and the International Booker Prize ensures that the Booker honours fiction on a global basis: world-class fiction is highlighted by the prizes for English-speaking readers, whether that work was originally written in English (the Booker Prize) or translated into English (the International Booker Prize).
The International Booker Prize began life in 2005 as the Man Booker International Prize. It was initially a biennial prize for a body of work, and there was no stipulation that the work should be written in a language other than English. Early winners of the Man Booker International Prize therefore include Alice Munro, Lydia Davis and Philip Roth, as well as Ismail Kadare and Laszlo Krasznahorkai.

A wonderful writer, a master, a great human being as well.

That interviewer seems very nervous, bless him.
No
It is always a treat to hear Philip Roth speak. Another inspring interview here. And Roth's praise of John Updike is truly moving. We are all lucky to have lived at a time when Roth and Updike were publishing their best books.
Pppppppp
The greatest novelist (Roth) and the greatest short story writer (Updike) in the world
You never read Rabbit then.
He is truly worth to win the Nobel immediately!
Sadly, it isn't going to happen. He is a Jewish, Male, White, Straight, American writer.
huh, sounds kinda like Bob Dylan, to me....
Michael Lawrence
Celebrity...
I can't believe they gave it to Bob Dylan and not Roth. The Sweeds must have decided to mock the USA.
They're more likely to give it to a black, indigenous, transgender lesbian in a wheelchair who once talked about writing a book.
This man is an inspiration, his style and voice one of the best. He's less prissy than Bellow, his prose has harder knuckles. I love the fact he was inspired by Celine.
Genius writer.
Cheers for uploading this.
Portnoy's complaint - such a great book, I was reading it first during my adolescence bcs of the sex scenes, then in my twenties for a good laugh nd then in thirties bcs it's so wise. I wonde
Heard of Mr. Philip & Saul Bellow but haven't read many novels of any of them. Engrossing interview
you are definitively right.
Thank you 'webofstories' for that info about Philip Roth. Sounds interesting.
It's incredible how a writer is able to pull out four mastepieces one after another. Sabbath's Theatre, American Pastoral, I married a comunist, The Human Stain. A genius. One of the best if not the best along with Cormac McCarthy.
McCarthy is a second rate author, son. Roth was the greatest novelist in the world
True
@@peterkelnerxd7009 why do you think Roth is a greater writer than McCarthy?
@@peterkelnerxd7009
Opinions aren’t facts, lad.
@@jonharrison9222 Roth wrote 15 great novels, McCarthy wrote one. That's a FACT
@CastleRockFan Yes, I've always been intrigued by Roth.
Could you imagine Philip Roth giving a flying F- about winning a Booker Prize. LMAO.
No doubt, he deserves many recognitions for his life time achievements. But a prize for this book? Sure, great style. But the content? Repetitive, sugared over, flawless characters all around.....
His books are great, and his interviews should be studied
"They didn't try to write like Lord Chesterfield".
I loved Roth, but the arrival of his type - a degraded, foreign type, ultimately - heralded the final and steepest decline of something once truly high.
I think he was fake struggling to remember the National Book Award. It is probably a studied move he's used repeatedly over the years. That said, he does seem more down to earth and personable than I had expected.
I'm already annoyed by the interviewer. Is he writing an essay or doing an interview?
show PR, not the interviewer.
Interviewer-shut up and let him talk.
