Solar Bones by Mike McCormack was named the winner of the Goldsmiths Prize 2016, which recognizes fiction " that breaks the mould. "
Published by Tramp Press, the novel follows the recollections of an engineer named Marcus Conway briefly returned from the dead.
McCormack is the third Irish writer to win since the prize began in 2013.
Chairman of judges, Professor Blake Morrison, said: " Set over a few hours in a single day, and told in the first-person voice of a middle-aged engineer, Mike McCormack’s Solar Bones transcends these seeming limits magnificently. Politics, family, art, marriage, health, civic duty and the environment are just a few of the themes it touches on, in a prose that’s lyrical yet firmly rooted. Its subject may be an ordinary working life but it is itself an extraordinary work. "
McCormack, 51, called on more publishers to take risks with experimental authors. "Readers are smart. They’re up for it," he said.
" That was what the people at Tramp Press taught me. There are readers out mere and they have been proved right. "
One review from the Internet goes like this: " Solar Bones captures in a single relentless sentence the life and death of this rural engineer, and his place in the globally interconnected 21st century. The book takes in local municipal failures and global financial collapse, the ordinary pleasures of family, ancient history and the latest headlines, the living and the dead. "
The prize was founded in 2013 by Goldsmiths, University of London, and is held in partnership with the New Statesman.
Last year’s winner was Beatle bone by Kevin Barry.
