The £50,000 prize is split 50:50 between author Banu Mushtaq and translator Deepa Bhasthi, giving each equal recognition.Announcing Heart Lamp as winner, Chair of the 2025 judges Max Porter said the book ‘is something genuinely new for English readers: a radical translation’ of ‘beautiful, busy, life-affirming stories’.
