[@sebastianromero7085]

I mean that shirt is OUTSTANDING! Worth it

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Ah, thank you so much! 😊✨

[@a_bookish_gemini]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful event! Also, thank you SO MUCH for not spoiling it in the thumbnail, I really don’t know why people do that. ❤

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Yes, I’ve learned not to and leave it a surprise for those who’ve not yet heard the news. 😊📚

[@a_bookish_gemini]

@@EricKarlAnderson love you for that!

[@SarahAsYouWish]

I appreciate you both including us on this journey. It’s always a pleasure.

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Thanks for watching! 😊📚

[@janethansen9612]

Thank you for taking us along again, I do enjoy this annual event. How sweet that Virginia / Mrs Dalloway did not have to go and get the flowers herself.

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Yes! 😊💐

[@enidlacob1157]

What a privilege to be part of the ceremony sitting here in Cape Town All thanks to you Eric in your fabulous shirt. Thanks

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Ah, glad you could join me! 😊📚

[@LifeisGoodLiveFully]

Thank you for allowing us to live this experience vicariously! Loved it and hope to make a live attendance to a book prize award ceremony one day!

[@EricKarlAnderson]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it and I feel very lucky to have gone.

[@miriamtraynor936]

Love the shirt! I thought Brotherless night very well written & moving. Am engrossed in “How to say Babylon” at the moment

[@TripleRoux]

This was so much fun to watch, thank you! The shirt is fab! The speeches were moving and made me even happier for these two lovely humans. And I was very relieved to see that you brought a jacket with you... 😂

[@scallydandlingaboutthebooks]

I saw most of the live event via the Women's Prize website and was happy I could see the back of your head in that. The shirt is perfect. I am delighted about Brotherless Night although I would have been thrilled for Enter Ghost to win. I was also hoping for A Flat Place to win but I haven't read Doppelganger to be fair. Thanks for all your coverage of the prize this year.

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Thanks! I’m surprised that you and some others were able to recognise me from the back of my head. And glad you’re happy with the fiction winner. Definitely get to Doppelgänger at some point - it is very good.

[@antineah1889]

Thank you Eric for this lovely video. I love that you pop by to say hello to Virginia Woolf! I like stopping by my favourite authors to say hello too.

[@EricKarlAnderson]

[@bookofdust]

[@chambersstevens3135]

Eric what a cool video. It was great seeing you pick the exact winners. Then getting to go to the party. And hearing the speeches and then your wrap up. One of your best videos ever!

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Thank you!

[@jacquiheywood3142]

Thank you for sharing this footage. I live in New Zealand and I haven’t managed to find any other footage of the awards ceremony, so I appreciate your vlog. Great speeches. Can’t wait to read some of these books.

[@deborahaguruso]

Great to see you enjoying this wonderful event. I recently read The White Woman on the Green Bicycle by Monique Roffey, which I really enjoyed. I am looking forward to her new book, Passiontide.

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Ah great, I really enjoyed The White Woman on the Green Bicycle too.

[@doreene11]

I loved Brotherless Nightxx. Nice shirtxx

[@EricKarlAnderson]

😊📚

[@indrazneste]

I love your videos from events 🙃

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Thank you! 😊

[@bianquita1]

Thanks again for this great video. I'm currently halfway through Doppelganger, I'm absolutely blown away in the best way! I already planned to read Brotherless Night, hopefully, it'll become a favourite.

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Great, it's so fascinating how Klein engages in such a relevant discussion that mixes the personal and political.

[@jennrecord2784]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I was only able to catch part of the live announcement earlier so this is a wonderful way to rewatch the ceremonies!

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Glad I could help! 😊📚

[@booksandbags]

This was my first year following the Women’s Prize. I’m sad that it’s over. I do have some books from the long lists that I would like to read. I’m happy with both of the winners. I was pulling for How to Say Babylon, but I thought Doppelgänger was excellent as were all of the books on the nonfiction list. I was also pulling for Brotherless Night, but would have been happy to see Enter Ghost or Solider Sailor win.

[@EricKarlAnderson]

I’d have been happy to see How to Say Babylon win and Sinclair was unquestionably the best dressed of the night!

[@mariatavares8513]

👌love it

[@EricKarlAnderson]

😊📚

[@nadiadixon5805]

I thought brotherless night was a brilliant book about why people fight for recognition and democracy and at what cost to the family...

[@magnumopus_india]

🥰🥰❣️❣️✨✨📸📸📓📓📓🥂🥂

[@ExpatRiot79]

It would be nice to see a "Men's Prize" for once.

[@SelinaAllinson]

Thank you so much for taking us along on this fabulous occasion Eric! It's always so wonderful. I love your shirt! I'm very happy with the result, I thought BN was an incredible novel. I'm also really looking forward to getting to Doppelganger. I loved the speeches too. Thanks again to you and Anna for all things Women's Prize 24' 🩷

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Thanks, Selina! I'll be wearing the shirt a lot this summer - once the weather finally warms up! I think you'll find Doppelgänger really engrossing. She mixes the personal and political (showing how they are necessarily connected) in such a fascinating and topical way.
