Now how about that Nobel? Philip Roth won the fourth International Man Booker Prize on Wednesday, beating out 12 other authors. The prize, meant to honor a writer's body of work as opposed to any individual book, comes with a $100,000 purse. "One of the particular pleasures I've had as a writer is to have my work read internationally despite all the heartaches of translation that entails,” Roth said in a video message.
He will be honored in London on June 28.
