American short-story writer Lydia Davis wins Booker International Prize
US writer Lydia Davis, best known for her unconventionally short stories, on Wednesday claimed the prestigious Man Booker International Prize at a London ceremony.
The New York based author beat off competition from the nine other authors who made the shortlist to win the award, which honours “achievement in fiction on the world stage”.
While Davis writes conventional short stories, others consist of just one paragraph or sentence.
