Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize 2024 Winner

It is our great pleasure to confirm Glorious Exploits by Ferdia Lennon as the winner of the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction 2024.

Set in the Sicily of 412 BC, Lennon's at once riotously funny and incredibly moving novel finds two locals and a bunch of captured Athenian soldiers staging two of Euripides’ greatest tragedies in a quarry. Wildly clever, utterly disarming and filled with moments of deepest tragedy and unexpected beauty, Lennon’s debut is a heartfelt, exhilarating tribute to the power of storytelling and the value of forgiveness.
