Dylan Thomas Prize: Caleb Azumah Nelson wins for novel Small Worlds.

Speaking after being handed the award, Caleb said: “I felt strangely calm before the show and now I’m just really in a total state of shock.”

He added: “It’s really exciting to be here.”

He said the first person he was going to call was his mother.

Among the shortlisted writers was Joshua Jones for his work Local Fires, a collection of short stories inspired by real people and events in his home town of Llanelli, Carmarthenshire.

He said he was relieved the wait was over.

“There’s been anxiety for the last couple of weeks, it’s the biggest thing that’s happened to me in terms of my writing career and it is just incredible to be part of the experience,” he said.
