M. John Harrison wins Booker Prize as oldest winner in award history
M. John Harrison, British author, received the Booker Prize for the novel "The End of Everything" — a melancholic, satirical account of a post-apocalyptic Britain attacked by gelatinous cosmic creatures called "iGhetti". Harrison is nearly 80 and is the oldest winner in the award's history. A turning point in his career came after a heart attack when doctors implanted six stents in him — he then decided to write more intensively. Previously he won the Goldsmiths Prize for the novel "The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again".
