[DUBLIN - Not everyone was thrilled by the decision last month to give the Man Booker Prize, Britain's most influential literary award, to] The Sea ... Never Let Me Go.

I thought it was remarkable on his part to be so generous.

The 9/11 attack was a huge and terrible thing but it was not unique. I come from a country where, if you put it in scale, some say 350,000 people would have died from the violence.

What a little vessel of sadness we are, sailing in this muffled silence through the autumn dark.

I thought, 'That's me gone from the Booker Prize.

I didn't envy the judges their task this year. Obviously the novel is far from dead.
