Irish writer Paul Lynch won the Booker Prize for fiction on Sunday with what judges called a soul-shattering novel about a woman's struggle to protect her family as Ireland collapses into totalitarianism and war.
Edugyan said that immediate events didn't directly influence the choice of winner. She said that Lynch's book captures the social and political anxieties of our current moment but also deals with timeless themes.
