Last year's winner of the Dylan Thomas Prize was Vietnam-born Nam Le for his collection of short stories, The Boat. This book has been described as a stunningly inventive, deeply moving fiction debut that takes the readers from the slums of Colombia to the streets of Tehran; from New York City to Iowa City; from a tiny fishing village in Australia to a foundering vessel in the South China Sea, in a masterful display of literary virtuosity and feeling.
