Age 45

Occupation Novelist; his latest book, "A Brief History of Seven Killings," won the Man Booker Prize.

Area Minneapolis

Most loved Room The lounge of his space flat (in a previous Sears building), which Mr. James has loaded with workmanship, books, photos, records and plants. Purge rooms trouble him, he said: "It resembles going into a house without any books. I discover it significantly disquieting."

I truly adore how warm this room is. What do you like about it? My companion Ingrid said, "Goodness, this is so you." I figure that is it, truly. It mirrors every one of the things I'm occupied with. Something else I adore: no TV. Furthermore, two love seats that face each other. So in any case, we're going to have a discussion.

Is that an augmentation of your adolescence home or something you set out to make? The house I experienced childhood in, the TV was dependably on. It was an extraordinary place to be as one however separated. Which is not to thump it. However, I generally cherished the possibility of the family room as social space. As an essayist, only i'm the greater part of my time, so I like engaging. There will be wine and olives out and individuals over. For the most part, I'm cooking Jamaican nourishment.

For famously frigid Minneapolis, it's likewise entirely green in here. It's nearly invade with plants. Be that as it may, I grew up being close nature and underestimating it. It's turning out to be a significant wilderness. I'm holding up to see a snake.

What's this red model? Is it by a craftsman whose work you gather? No, we're not looking at something tasteful here. There's a store in Minneapolis, Go Home Furnishings. They offer fun, wacky, crazy things. In any case, a room needs one bit of kitsch or eccentricity that you can snicker at.

I saw the Bob Dylan record among your accumulation. What's your idea on him winning the Nobel Prize in Literature? What the Nobel board of trustees said of Dylan, that he's conveying poeticism to the American songbook, is completely valid. I was shocked from the negative reactions that originated from American authors. I was blissful when he won it. Melody is writing.
