Howard Jacobson scooped up one of the most prestigious literature prizes yesterday (Tuesday 12th October) for his tragic-comic novel “The Finkler Question”.
My portrait of Howard, in typical “I don’t DO smiling!” mood, at the Edinburgh International Book Festival – one of a series of portraits for Scotland on Sunday.
The Man-Booker Prize for Fiction 2010 made its’ first ever award to a comic novel.
“The Finkler Question” is a novel about love, loss and male friendship, and explores what it means to be Jewish today.
