the master playwright ( 1930-2008) ,
who was a vice- president of English PEN and a tireless
crusader for human rights and, particularly, for an end to torture .
The prize is awarded to a writer from Britain , the Republic of Ireland or the Commonwealth, who
casts an “ unflinching , unswerving ” gaze upon the world , and shows a “ fierce intellectual

The judges of the prize described Adichie’ s understanding of gender , race and global inequality
as “ sophisticated beyond measure. ”
