Voici une news plutôt étonnante.
Ce n'est pas un poisson, vu que ça a été publié le 30 mars !
L'AFP a écrit: | SYDNEY (AFP) - British thriller writer John Le Carre asked Wednesday that his name be withdrawn from the shortlist for the Man Booker International Prize, disappointing judges who said they admired his work.
The best-selling spy novelist was among 13 authors in consideration for the 60,000 pound ($96,070) literary award, which for the first time included Chinese authors in Wang Anyi and Su Tong.
The chair of the judging panel, writer, academic and rare-book dealer Rick Gekoski said he received a statement from Le Carre only 45 minutes before the announcement of the shortlist in Sydney.
"It reads: 'I am enormously flattered to be named as a finalist. However I do not compete for literary prizes and have therefore asked for my name to be withdrawn'," he told a press conference.
Le Carre is believed to be the first writer to ask to be withdrawn from consideration since the inaugural prize was awarded to Albanian writer Ismail Kadare in 2005. It was won by Nigeria's Chinua Achebe in 2007 and Canada's Alice Munro in 2009.
The prize is due to be announced in Sydney on May 18 |
Bon, vu que j'ai trouvé ça sur un site all in english, voici une traduction de l'histoire, sur le site d'Europe 1 :
