Booker Shortlist announced
The shortlist for this year’s Man Booker Prize has been announced, and once again Australian authors feature. Steve Toltz has been shortlisted for A Fraction of the Whole, and Aravind Adiga has also been shortlisted for The White Tiger.
The four other books on the shortlist are:
The Secret Scripture by Sebastian Barry
The Clothes on Their Backs by Linda Grant
The Northern Clemency by Philip Hensher and
Sea of Poppies by Amitav Ghosh
We’ll have these in the library as soon as we possibly can, because they’re bound to provide some satisfying reading.
