“It’s just great – it’s just a big prize, and such a huge list of wonderful writers – I am still taking it in,” he said. “It was such a complete surprise that I really had to wait until I heard it announced before I could believe it.” Asked if he was drinking champagne or dancing for joy, he said: “No” with a laugh.
