Julian Barnes "The Sense Of An Ending" has won the 2011 Man Booker Prize! It was the fourth time that Barnes was on the Shortlist, and his first win - so I'm certain he's very chuffed, despite having in the past referred to the prize as a "posh bingo".
It sounds like a potentially depressing read, to me anyhow, but I'm sure it's beautiful. The chairwoman of the judges says it is:

So, Congratulations, Mr. Barnes! I look forward to reading your book - in about 11 months time!
