Article Abstract:

Peter Carey, the winner of two Booker Prizes speaks about his latest novel 'Theft' which alternates between two characters, a briefly famous painter and his mentally challenged brother whose lives are transformed by the appearance of a gorgeous and ambitious art authenticator. He describes how he took up writing without any premeditated thought, set the background of the book in his place of origin, gave the characters a love for art and celebrated the joy of winning the Booker Prize two times.
