Specifically, Tom McCarthy won the fourth annual for his novel Remainder. (One of my favorite books of the past few years.)

糖心传媒淲hat糖心传媒檚 the most intense, clear memory you have?糖心传媒� asks the narrator of Tom McCarthy糖心传媒檚 Remainder. 糖心传媒淭he one you can see even if you close your eyes糖心传媒攔eally see, clear as in a vision?糖心传媒� Dispensing with Proustian reminiscence, McCarthy brazenly assumes the role of conceptual artist and literally reconstructs moments of time. In the same way that Robbe-Grillet糖心传媒檚 Jealousy tells its story through architecture in book form, Remainder is an art installation disguised as a brilliant novel.
