From the Judges’ Citation
Wide Open is word perfect, witty and ironic…..The author’s focus on marginal lives and on the importance of the dispossesed and the apparently mad persuade us finally that Wide Open possesses a manic energy and taut eloquence worthy of a large, serious and global readership.

Judges: Alicia Borinsky, David Dabydeen, Suzi Feay, Josyane Savigneau, Colm Toibín. Non-voting Chair, Allen Weinstein
About the Book
Fifty miles to the south and east of London, poking out into the estuary of the river Thames, the Isle of Sheppey is a forgotten, misty backwater. There’s a prison, some wading birds and a small nudist beach. In front of this salty, blasted backdrop, Nicola Barker conjures up an imaginative landscape of breathtaking scope and audacity.

She is the author of two collections of stories, Love Your Enemies (winner of the David Highman Prize for Fiction and joint winner of the Macmillan Silver Award for Fiction) and Heading Inland (winner of the Mail on Sunday John Llewellyn Rhys Prize), and two other novels, Reversed Forecast and Small Holdings.

关于这本书
在伦敦南部和东部50英里处，泰晤士河的河口处，谢佩岛是一个被遗忘的、迷雾重重的落后地区。这里有一座监狱，一些涉水鸟和一个小的裸体海滩。在这个充满咸味的背景下，尼古拉-巴克创造了一个具有想象力的景观，其范围和胆量令人惊叹。
