The 81-year-old’s postapocalyptic novel The End of Everything takes home the £50,000 award Guardian fiction editor Justine Jordan on M John Harrison’s win: A visionary writer gets the recognition he deserves Eighty-one-year-old M John Harrison has won the Booker prize for The End of Everything , a postapocalyptic novel set on a near-future Kent coast, becoming the oldest winner in the award’s history.
