2007 International Man Booker

It completely slipped past me that Chinua Achebe won the second International Man Booker. Good. I confess i have not read any of his work, but it's good to see it go to an author not from Britian orAmerica, even if Achebe does write in English. Recognizing an author who writes in a language other than English would have been preferable, but check the 2005 shortlist against the 2007 shortlist, and it will make perfect sense why I groused about that 2007 shortlist
