Man Booker International Prize - wikipedia Man Booker International Prize Man Booker International Prize Inaugural winner Ismail Kadare Awarded for Best book in English translation Country United Kingdom Presented by Man Group Reward ( s ) £ 50,000 Website themanbookerprize.com/international The Man Booker International Prize is an international literary award hosted in the United Kingdom. The introduction of the International Prize to complement the Man Booker Prize was announced in June 2004. Sponsored by the Man Group, from 2005 until 2015 the award was given every two years to a living author of any nationality for a body of work published in English or generally available in English translation. It rewarded one author 's `` continued creativity, development and overall contribution to fiction on the world stage '', and was a recognition of the writer 's body of work rather than any one title. The judges for the year compiled their own lists of authors, and submissions were not invited. Since 2016, the award has been given annually to a single book in English translation, with a £ 50,000 prize for the winning title, shared equally between author and translator.

The award was worth £ 60,000 and an author could win only once. The Man Booker International prize also allowed for a separate award for translation. The winning author could choose a translator of his or her work into English to receive a prize sum of £ 15,000. Post-2016 On 7 July 2015, the Booker Prize Foundation announced that from 2016 onwards the Man Booker International Prize was to be a prize for fiction in translation. Its aim is to encourage publishing and reading of quality works in translation and to highlight the work of translators. The award is now given annually to a book in English translation, with a £ 50,000 prize for the winning title, to be shared equally between author and translator. Each shortlisted author and translator receives £ 1,000. This brings the total prize fund to £ 62,000 per year, compared to the previous £ 37,500 for the Man Booker International Prize. Judges select a longlist of 12 or 13 books in March, followed by a shortlist of six in April, with the winner announced in May. History The inaugural winner was Albanian writer Ismail Kadare. He was followed by Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe in 2007, and two years later the Canadian writer Alice Munro won the award. In 2011 the prize was awarded to American Philip Roth. Praising its concerted judgement, the journalist Hephzibah Anderson noted that the Man Booker International Prize was `` fast becoming the more significant award, appearing an ever more competent alternative to the Nobel ''. In 2015 it was announced that the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize would be disbanded. The prize money from that award would be folded into the Man Booker International Prize, and the latter would become what the Independent prize used to be : a yearly book award for English translations, with the prize split between author and translator.

British journalist Boyd Tonkin, who chaired the judging panel, said that the decision was unanimous. He also said of the book `` in a style both lyrical and lacerating, it reveals the impact of this great refusal both on the heroine herself and on those around her.

The chair of the judging panel, Nick Barley, who is the director of the Edinburgh International Book Festival, described the book as `` an ambitious high - wire act of a novel ( that ) shines a spotlight on the effects of grief, without any hint of sentimentality.
