Philip Roth

Philip Roth, one of America's most prolific and controversial novelists, was named winner of the £60,000 Man Booker International Prize awarded every two years for a body of work published either originally in English or widely available in English translation.

He beat a formidable line-up of 12 contenders that included Rohinton Mistry and John Le Carre.

Roth (78) is best-known for his 1969 novel “Portnoy's Complaint,” and for his late-1990s trilogy comprising “American Pastoral” which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1998; “I Married a Communist;” and “The Human Stain.”

Judges praised him for his “imagination” and, especially, the way he had dealt with the notion of Jewish identity in his novels.

Anna Hazare

The spate of exposures on corruption in the high offices of the Indian government last year was extraordinary even by Indian standards. Even Supreme Court -- the country’s apex court -- demanded to know what was going on and resorted to not-so-judicial a language in exasperation. Anna’s fast-unto-death that began on April 5 came at an opportune moment for the masses who were feeling stifled and helpless amid the waves of scandals that were rocking the country.

Indian American physician Siddhartha Mukherjee

Indian-American physician Siddhartha Mukherjee's acclaimed book on cancer, The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer, has won the prestigious 2011 Pulitzer Prize in the general non-fiction category.

According to the Pulitzer citation, the book by the New York-based cancer physician and researcher is “an elegant inquiry, at once clinical and personal, into the long history of an insidious disease that, despite treatment breakthroughs, still bedevils medical science.”

The Pulitzer for general non-fiction is awarded to a “distinguished and appropriately documented book of non-fiction by an American author that is not eligible for consideration in any other category.” It carries a $10,000 award.

Rafael Nadal

Unstoppable Rafael Nadal won his 34th match in a row on clay, defeating good friend David Ferrer 6-2, 6-4 to win another Barcelona Open, his 31st clay title from 46 overall career trophies.

Nadal beat fourth seed Ferrer, who played with a troublesome calf injury and with a taped calf, in a final for the second straight week after winning Monte Carlo at his fellow Spaniard's expense in another rout seven days ago.

He could not prevent Nadal taking a sixth title in seven years at the Real Club de Tenis.

"It's unbelievable," said the winner. "I'm very happy to come back and win here after not playing last year. It was a difficult decision; it's a special dream to play in this tournament."

Nadal has not been beaten on his surface of choice since going down in an upset at the French Open two years ago to Robin Soderling in the fourth round.
