'The Line of Beauty' wins Booker

Alan Hollinghurst's novel, 'The Line of Beauty,' a tale of drugs, power and money, has won the Man Booker Prize.

"It's very amazing to me that the long, solitary process of writing a novel should lead to a moment like this," Hollinghurst said.

The book is the tale of Nick Guest, a gay Oxford graduate, who rents a room in the home of a powerful politician.

The author lives in London.
