I suppose this is John Sutherland trying to be funny...

... but I'm not sure where the joke's supposed to be.

On the plus side, I don't follow literary prizes, and as I've never read any Kennedy would not otherwise have heard of the book which I have just ordered from Amazon. I don't think that was Sutherland's "real" intention, though.

Good for you.

I haven't read much Kennedy, but what I have is very good, although it tends to the gloomy. She also used to have a very good column in the Grauniad.
