I’m so very honoured to learn that #ProphetSong has been awarded the US’s Dayton Literary Peace Prize for fiction, which recognises “the power of the written word to foster peace, social justice and global understanding”. A trip to Dayton, Ohio awaits… @groveatlantic

An essay I’ve written for the @nytimes:
“ We are no longer alienated from the world, but alienated from ourselves.”

Tks to my neighbour Mohan Rao I read Prophet Song by @paullynchwriter. The writing is as poetic & luminous as the narrative is dense & black, a luminous black. Most reviews-from the West-have focused on the 'What if' factor: could this breakdown of democracy happen here? But..

[Aunohita Mojumdar @Aunohita]

Reading this book from a spot in the Global South the book resonated differently. Large passages of the book could be transposed to the reality of life here (I am in India) & to our neighbourhood where people undertake perilous crossings to escape suffocating tyrannies.

[Aunohita Mojumdar @Aunohita]

Not a 'What if' of the future but a call to the reality of the present: of those crossing borders, of the incarcerated, of entire peoples waiting for a global response to their horrifying situation that never comes. To me the book says: 'Recognise, they are us.' @paullynchwriter

[Paul Lynch @paullynchwriter]

@MarcPColeman @Aidan_Regan I am neither too young nor not aware, Marc. If you read the novel you will notice that it does not specify the terror as belonging to either the right or the left though the methodology and outcome remains the same…

[Leo Varadkar @LeoVaradkar]

Great to meet @paullynchwriter today and congratulate him on winning the #BookerPrize2023 for his incredible book, Prophet Song.

Glad to hear of how supportive @artscouncil_ie has been of his work and that of other Irish writers.

[Paul Lynch @paullynchwriter]

That moment when you’ve done 60 interview since 26 November and now they want you to sign 2,000 books in one sitting. Thank you @WaterstonesPicc
(For the record, it took 1hr, 25min) with a team of four.

[Dr. Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai @nguyen_p_quemai]

This is Juliet Mabey, my UK publisher who just won her third Booker Prize by publishing @paullynchwriter 's novel. During my UK book tour, she drove me, hosted me at her home, carried my luggage, cooked for me. What a special person she is!The literary world is lucky to have her

[Waterstones Cork @WaterstonesCrk]

It has been many years since a Booker Prize winner resonated as strongly with our customers as 'Prophet Song.' After extraordinary demand, we can confirm that @paullynchwriter's haunting, page turning novel is now back in stock, with plenty of copies available. @OneworldNews.
