The Book of Form and Emptiness

Answer: The Book of Form and Emptiness

The Book of Form and Emptiness, Ruth Ozeki’s fourth book, was awarded the Women’s Prize for Fiction in January 2022. 

Mary Ann Sieghart, one of the judges, said Ozeki received  the £30,000 prize for a work that “stood out for its brilliant prose, warmth, intelligence, humour, and poignancy,” Guardian reported. 

The story revolves around a 14-year-old Benny who starts to hear voices coming from the objects in his residence after his father’s death. The voices get louder so the boy seeks solace in the peace and quiet of a sizable public library. He encounters a number of oddball folks there who educate him to pay attention to the things that really matter.

Ozeki, while accepting the award, told the audience it was “absurd”; she said she didn’t “win things”.

She thanked all the women who supported her throughout her career.

“I wanted to call out the names of the women who have supported me, because now more than ever this is a time that we need to speak out and rewrite the dominant narratives that have landed us into quite dire straits.”

Ozeki told the Guardian, “It’s quite random because any of the books on the long list and shortlist are completely worthy.”
