Nice one, Hari
Hari Kunzru, the young British author has turned down a literary award sponsored by the Mail on Sunday, in protest at their published comments about migrants.
This is a noble and brave stance to take against this reactionary and revolting newspaper group [Associated Newspapers], which never hesitates to criticize refugees and asylum seekers. Mr Kunzru, whom I met some weeks ago in a Soho restaurant is included in the Best of Young British Novelists a publication by Granta in 2003 that identified the most talented writers of the decade. It includes a story, Lila.exe from his forthcoming novel, Transmission. His first novel was The Impressionist.
'Basically a writer has a quiet, inner motivation, and doesn't seek validation in the outwardly visible.' Haruki Marukami.
