The David Cohen Prize for Literature 2013 has been awarded to the English novelist, essayist and short story writer Hilary Mantel for a lifetime of achievement in literature. The prize, worth £40,000, was presented by the chair of judges Mark Lawson at a gala ceremony hosted at the British Library. We spoke to Hilary Mantel about her career, her recent success and the recipient of the Clarissa Luard Award, Katie Ward. We also spoke to judges, broadcaster Mark Lawson and journalist/novelist Sam Leith, and Hilary's editor, Nicholas Pearson (Fourth Estate) about judging her work, editing her and why now, after such a long career she's finally getting the recognition she deserves. Since winning her first Man Booker Prize in 2009 for Wolf Hall Mantel has become one of the UK’s best known authors. Beyond Black (2005), was shortlisted for a 2006 Commonwealth Writers Prize and for the 2006 Orange Prize for Fiction and longlisted for the Man Booker Prize; Wolf Hall (2009), was winner of the Man Booker Prize and the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction; and Bring Up The Bodies (2012), her most recent novel, was winner of the Man Booker Prize, and Costa Book of the year 2012. In 2006 she was awarded a CBE. Mark Lawson, chair of judges, said of this year’s winner: ‘It seems paradoxical that giving a major literary prize – the British Nobel Prize, as I think of it – to one of the most generally-admired and well-liked people in the literary world will be, for some, controversial. This is because of a feeling – voiced by some pundits and perhaps secretly thought by authors who feel unrewarded – that Hilary Mantel has recently been given too much too quickly. That issue, however, was rapidly dismissed by the judges. Crucially, while the writer’s other recent prizes have been for two recent books, the David Cohen Prize assesses and rewards an entire career to date. In the case of Hilary Mantel, this means 28 years of work that has produced 13 books ranging across historical and contemporary novels, short stories and a memoir. ‘While the judges were as impressed as most readers by Wolf Hall and Bring up the Bodies, it is our particular hope that this prize for three decades of dedication to the possibilities of narrative imagination and English prose will direct attention to such earlier works as the novels Fludd, A Change of Climate and Beyond Black and the autobiography Giving Up The Ghost. Consideration of this remarkable career soon led us to feel that we had had enough of anyone who will moan that Hilary Mantel has already had enough prizes. It would be ludicrous if a history of high achievement somehow disbarred a writer from the David Cohen Prize’s list of the highest literary achievers.’ On winning the Prize Hilary said: ‘I did at first find it a little bit hard to take in because my husband gave me the news and I said “Oh I think you mean I’ve been invited to the David Cohen awards”. It was not on my horizon, but of course, here I am and it’s a very wonderful place to be. 'There are some readers who think that I was born on the day Wolf Hall was published. This prize acknowledges that there are no overnight sensations in the creative arts. That’s not the way it works. The ground has to be prepared and I feel that this is recognition of the fact that for many many years I’ve been trying to perfect my craft…I want to assure the judges that much as there is a lifetime's worth of work behind me, there is still a lifetime's worth of work still to come...'
