Writer follows in father’s footsteps by winning James Tait Black Prize
A writer has told how she performed an “Oedipal coup” when she received a prestigious literary prize – almost four decades after her father received a similar honour.
American-born author Lucy Ellmann won the James Tait Black Prize for fiction for her novel Ducks, Newburyport, a story composed entirely via the internal monologue of an Ohio mother-of-four.
