The Man Booker Prize 2018
Der Man Booker Prize 2018 wurde an die Schriftstellerin Anna Burns vergeben. Zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte des Literaturpreises geht die Auszeichnung damit an eine Autorin aus Nordirland.
Der Roman Milkman erzählt von einer namenlosen, 18-jährigen Frau, die von einem älteren Mann - dem "Milkman" bedrängt wird.
Die Jury des renommierten Preises zu ihrer Entscheidung: "The language of Anna Burns' Milkman is simply marvellous; beginning with the distinctive and consistently realised voice of the funny, [...], plain-spoken first-person protagonist. [...] The novel delineates brilliantly the power of gossip and social pressure in a tight-knit community, and shows how both rumour and political loyalties can be put in the service or a relentless campaign of individual sexual harassment.
Burns draws on the experience of Northern Ireland during the Troubles to portray a world that allows individuals to abuse power granted by a community to those who resist the state on their behalf. Yet this is never a novel about just one place or time. The local is in service to an exploration of the universal experience of societies in crisis."
Friedensnobelpreis 2018
Der Friedensnobelpreis geht in diesem Jahr an Denis Mukwege und Nadia Murad.
Das Nobelpreis-Komitee verleiht ihnen den Preis "for their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and armed conflict. Both laureates have made a crucial contribution to focusing attention on, and combating, such war crimes. Denis Mukwege is the helper who has devoted his life to defending these victims. Nadia Murad is the witness who tells of the abuses perpetrated against herself and others. Each of them in their own way has helped to give greater visibility to war-time sexual violence, so that the perpetrators can be held accountable for their actions."
