At high altitude and after eating 7 pieces of lamb this was rather delicious news to hear on a phone message in my left ear. I went to buy a chapstick to celebrate.

All my prejudices about mathematicians were challenged as I travelled with one on a bus for two hours today who educated me on Representation Theory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went for a walk up a mountain in Banff with a very invigorating conversationalist Xiaolu Guo, when I came back down the mountain I learned I had WON the 2013 Debut-Litzer Prize for Fiction.
