Booker winner Enright receives tributes

TRIBUTES were paid yesterday to the 2007 Man Booker winner, Dubliner Anne Enright.

The 45-year-old outsider became the second Irish writer in three years to win the €70,000 award, which guarantees increased sales and recognition.

Ms Enright’s book, The Gathering, beat competition from five other writers, including previous winner Ian McEwan.
