マリア・レヴァ、小説『Endling』で2026年ゴードン・バーン賞を受賞

ウクライナ生まれの作家マリア・レヴァ氏が、処女作『Endling』で2026年ゴードン・バーン賞を受賞した。3月5日、ニューカッスル・アポン・タインで発表された。この賞は文学の境界を押し広げる大胆で実験的な作品を表彰する。レヴァ氏の受賞は、現代文学におけるウクライナ系ディアスポラの声の影響力の高まりを強調している。

2012年にNew Writing North、Faber & Faber、Gordon Burn Trustによって設立されたゴードン・バーン賞は、型破りな視点、スタイル、または主題を持ち、カテゴリーに収まらず、より広範な社会問題を扱う傑出した執筆を称える。今年の1万ポンドの賞金(スコットランドのバーヴィックシャーにあるゴードン・バーンのコテージで最大3カ月滞在も提供)は、ニューカッスルのNorthern Stageで授与された。最終候補にはOmar El Akkad、Sarah Hall、Elizabeth Lovatt、Anthony Shapland、Morgan Taltyが名を連ね、審査委員長のVal McDermid氏によると審査プロセスは困難を極めたという。
