| I thought it was remarkable on his part to be so generous. |
| I thought, 'That's me gone from the Booker Prize. |

| Never Let Me Go. |
| one does try. |

| The Sea |
| 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. |
