New Zealand’s Eleanor Catton(28) has become the youngest writer ever to win a Man Booker prize. Previously, the record was held by Ben Okri(32) for 'The Famished Road' in 1991. Catton’s 832-page long murder-mystery book 'The Luminaries' is also the longest novel to ever win the prize. Catton is the second New Zealander to win the prize, after Keri Hulme(1985).
