The news of Nam Le's winning of the Dylan Thomas Prize with his beautiful "The Boat", reaches us via the Story Prize Blog.

Peter Florence, said Le's work “demonstrated a rare brilliance that is breathtaking both in the scope of its subject matter and the quality of its writing”.

The Dylan Thomas Prize is "the largest literary prize for a writer under the age of 30." Le is 29. 

Nam Le, who was featured in Titlepage's episode 5, received £60,000 and in doing so, beat, among others, another Titlepage guest, Ceridwen Dovey.
