Hungarian British author David Szalay was named the winner of the Booker Prize 2025 for his novel ‘Flesh', beating Indian author Kiran Desai's ‘The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny'. Szalay, 51, was presented with 50,000 pounds and a trophy on Monday night.

Desai missed out on becoming only the fifth double winner in Booker Prize's 56-year history, having won the coveted literary prize for fiction back in 2006 for ‘The Inheritance of Loss'.
