Congratulations!

Congratulations to Aravind Adiga on winning the Booker Prize for his first novel last night. Commiserations to our own Philip Hensher.

The HC team, those that weren’t at the dinner, watched the results with the winning publisher at a club in Soho and though we cheered their book when it was shown on the TV, just before the announcement, they booed ours! We were not amused… bad form Atlantic!
