Rick wins

Rick Kuhn's book Henryk Grossman and the Recovery of Marxism, which I reviewed a couple of months back for the Aussie journal Overland, has just won the Isaac Deutscher Prize, also known as the Booker Prize for Marxist Eggheads. I hope Kuhn's victory helps to restore the honour of the Prize, which was awarded a few years back to right-wing toff Francis Wheen's quickbake 'biography' of Karl Marx.
