In the midst of our travels this past week, the Man Booker Prize Shortlist was announced. As always, Claire McAlpine, has the scoop! Which author would you like to see take home the prize?
Thanks for reblogging the good news Patricia and isn’t it great to see 4 women writers on the list. I have only read one, the NoViolet Bulawayo novel, don’t you love that name and I believe it is a pen name, not her real name. It’s certainly memorable.
My hope for the winner is for Eleanor Catton, her book sounds like a fabulous, enthralling read, structurally fascinating without imposing on the reading experience, a cacophony of alluring characters and a mystery to entice us through the excess of pages. And she just happens to come from NZ too. 🙂 It’s not often we have one on an international list, we need to raise the rooftops! Bonne Dimanche vous deux, presque voisins 🙂
As I expected, Patricia, I have not read any of these books, but last spring, I saw the play of The Testament of Mary on Broadway. You might ask, “How did that happen?” I got free tickets.
You are so well read I am impressed! I’m sure these are all great reads!
