This will only be the third 3rd that a dual award has actually givenProvided This is Atwood’s second Booker Prize and she will be the oldest recipient the award has ever had at 79.
Their specific awards in themselves have made history. This is Atwood’s 2nd Booker Prize and she will be the earliest recipient the award has ever had at 79.
The judges stated they merely could not make a choice.
” Over a painful five hours, the 2019 Booker Prize judges talked about all of the much-loved books on their shortlist, and found it impossible to single out one winner,” said Gaby Wood, literary director of the Booker Prize Foundation, in a statement.
The 2 winners were limited from
a shortlist of six authors. Atwood is recognized for “The Testaments,” a sequel to “A Handmaid’s Tale.” Evaristo won for her book “Girl, Woman, Other.”
This will only be the 3rd time that a dual award has been offered. The award altered its rules in 1993 to clearly specify that
” the reward might not be divided or kept”
