Tim Parks on Prizes, Awards, Coetzee and Rushdie

from The Biblio File hosted by Nigel Beale · host Nigel Beale, The Biblio File

Prizes are ridiculous. Winners are often poor writers. Short lists are political. The whole world kneels before a bunch of Swedish academics who only read books in translation... So what does Tim Parks really think of book awards? Listen up. You'll also get his thoughts on Salman Rushdie and J.M. Coetzee. This is a public episode.
