John Banville
The Sea
Picador
John Banville and Kazuo Ishiguro came head to head again on the prize shortlist. Ishiguro had pipped Banville to the post in 1989 with The Remains of the Day, but this year Banville successfully picked up the prize with his novel The Sea over Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go. John Sutherland, chair of judges that year, had to cast the deciding vote between the two novels.
