Man 'Asian' Literary Prize: Restructured

Posted at 7:15AM Monday 08 Mar 2010

Major changes prize that used to be for an 'Asian novel unpublished in English' will now be awarded: 'for a novel written by a citizen of an Asian country and first published in English in 2010'. i.e. they've practically turned the whole thing on its head: where the ostensible purpose of the prize was always to introduce new 'Asian' writers to English-reading audiences, now they're only interested in the stuff that's already been taken on by English-language publishers.
