Joint Vogel winners
Written by Jeff Sparrow on 18-09-2009
This year, the Vogel Prize -- the big award for novelists under thirty-five -- was shared between two writers.
Melbourne writer Lisa Lang and Sydney writer Kristel Thornell will share the $20,000 prize for their novels Utopian Man and Night Street.
Ms Lang says she is looking forward to meeting her co-winner, who is currently in New York.
If anyone else wants to know about Kristel Thornell, a good place to start is with her wonderful story from Overland 195, 'Cabin Fever' . Congratulations to both Kristel and Lisa. [Update: there's also a Kristel story online over at the Mean Ginners. Not that it's a competition or anything.]
