Coming in October




The Mann Booker Prize, the most prestigious literary award in the British Isles and the Commonwealth, announced the long list of this year's nominees. You can find them at Omnivoracious. Some familiar names on this list. The prize, worth about $80,000, will be announced in October. Meanwhile, this is quite a formidable reading list that will undoubtedly take until then to get through. Should you be interested, of course. There will be a short list in a couple of months if you'd rather wait.

I have never read a Mann Booker prize winner that I didn't love. At least I'm pretty sure of this statement. And you were right about "19th Wife", I'm skipping over many pages. Tedious.
