Another Award for Richard Flanagan
Vanessa Goodwin, Minister for the Arts
On behalf of the Tasmanian Government I congratulate Tasmanian author Richard Flanagan for being awarded the 2014 Prime Minister’s Literary Award for Fiction.
Mr Flanagan was last night presented with the award, shared with Steven Carroll, for his Man Booker Prize-winning novel The Narrow Road to the Deep North.
The Prime Minister’s Literary Award for Fiction is just the latest in a long line of critical acclaim for his masterpiece.
His success sends a message to all young and aspiring Tasmanian writers that you can do great things by telling your stories.
Once again we applaud Richard Flanagan’s magnificent work and the recognition he has brought to Tasmania.
