Rose Tremain premio Orange
La escritora británica Rose Tremain ganó ayer el premio Orange Broadband 2008 por su novela The Road Home. La novela trata sobre un inmigrante de Europa Oriental que intenta hacer su camino en Gran Bretaña, tema que la autora juzga muy apropiado en el contexto actual de su país. Tremain se refirió así al hecho de haber ganado este premio pese a que, al no haber sido nominada siquiera en la longlist del Booker, no tenía ya ilusiones de nada:
I was a bit upset not to have been longlisted for the Man Booker. In this country, prizes are like bumps in the road, sleeping policemen. You can't pretend they are not there, and anyone who says they don't care about them is being disingenuous. So to have won one of the major prizes feels great. I would have spent more time perfecting my speech instead of my loser's smile.
También comentó con ironía el hecho de que exista un premio, como es el Orange, solo destinado a mujeres:
Come on, you guys, stop grumping. This is a women's fiction prize, and when AL Kennedy has won the Costa, Anne Enright has won the Booker and Doris Lessing has won the Nobel, I think there is a lot to celebrate
