The 2008 Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse prize for comic fiction has been announced.

Will Self’s novel The Butt was officially awarded the Wodehouse prize for comic fiction at the Hay Festival. Of course, some say that the suspense had been over since the shortlist was announced last month. Apparently readers of the program for this year’s Hay festival noticed Self described as the ‘winner of the 2008 Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse prize for comic fiction.’

So, there may have been no suspense in the end. But still it is exciting for the author.
