Canadian born Hungarian-British writer David Szalay has won the Booker Prize for fiction for his sixth novel, “Flesh”.
Szalay, 51, beat five other finalists, including Andrew Miller (“The Land in Winter”) and Indian author Kiran Desai (“The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny”) to take the coveted literary award, which brings a £50,000 (€57,000) payday and a big boost to the winner’s sales and profile.
