Adam Foulds, Sunday Times Young Writer
Adam Foulds, a young writer who had been keeping his head above water by driving a fork-lift, has just secured himself the £5,000 prize associated with winning the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year for The Truth About These Strange Times.
If The Times is correct the lad has a good shot at a writing career as he can now be placed with past winners William Dalrymple, Zadie Smith and Simon Armitage.
There’s only one signed copy of Foulds book listed on Abe, not a bad gamble at 30 quid.
