The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil Takes Inaugural 9th Art Prize
The Jonathan Cape book
The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil, by Stephen Collins,
took home the first 9th Art Award during the Stripped portion of the Edinburgh Book Festival. It beat a list of luminaries announced to the short list along with Collins' work:
Building Stories, Chris Ware (Jonathan Cape);
Days of the Bagnold Summer, Joff Winterhart (Jonathan Cape);
Naming Monsters, Hannah Eaton (Myriad Editions);
The Nao of Brown, Glyn Dillon (SelfMadeHero). You can see examples of the art in the linked-to post, by Richard Bruton over at the FPI blog. That posts also engages with the fact that there were multiple Jonathan Cape works on the shortlist. The awards program is intended to be ongoing.
