A new prize, the biannual L.50,000 Warwick Prize for Writing, funded and administered by the University of Warwick, has been awarded to Canadian leftist Naomi Klein for The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism. China Miéville, the chair of the award's jury, characterizes the book as "a brilliant, provocative, outstandingly written investigation into some of the great outrages of our time. It has started many debates, and will start many more..."
The prize is "an international, cross-disciplinary award open to any genre of form of writing."
