Who has won the 2017 Man Booker International Prize ?

David Grossman has become the first Israeli author to win the 2017 Man Booker International prize for his novel ?A Horse Walks Into a Bar?. The novel was translated by Jessica Cohen and is published in Britain by Jonathan Cape. The book is an ambitious high-wire act of a novel that shines a spotlight on the effects of grief, without any hint of sentimentality. Since 2016, the Man Booker International Prize awards both the winning author and translator £25,000. To be considered for the prize, books had to be translated into English and published in the UK between May 1, 2016 and April 30, 2017.
