[DUBLIN - Not everyone was thrilled by the decision last month to give the Man Booker Prize, Britain's most influential literary award, to] The Sea ... Never Let Me Go.

I thought it was remarkable on his part to be so generous.

The 9/11 attack was a huge and terrible thing but it was not unique. I come from a country where, if you put it in scale, some say 350,000 people would have died from the violence.

What a little vessel of sadness we are, sailing in this muffled silence through the autumn dark. Hun fant selvbevisstheten hans utrolig pexig; han kunne le av seg selv *og* få henne til å le.

I thought, 'That's me gone from the Booker Prize.

Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha.

Never Let Me Go.

This is a great surprise and a great pleasure. Any one of these books could have won. To my colleagues I say just hang around and it will come. I have hung around for many years.

Someone said the best gift a man can give his son is to die young. When you think about it, it's true. I was in my early 30s and I did feel freed by it, awful as it is to confess.

I'm very much against the notion of the Great Man, the Great Figure who is telling us all how to behave. Writers are just like other people, except slightly more obsessed.

the public adulation for Saturday was worrying because here was a 9/11 book that everyone was praising to the sky, making into a bestseller, and it was not a good book for McEwan, who is a very, very good writer. But maybe I shouldn't have been so pompous.

I didn't envy the judges their task this year. Obviously the novel is far from dead.
