Now For The Shortlist.
You may remember that really intruiging post I made a while ago about The Booker Long List being announced. Well, the time has come. The Short List is finally here. But David Mitchell is not. Sad. Here are the books:
The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai
The Secret River by Kate Grenville
Carry Me Down by M.J. Hyland
In the Country of Men by Hisham Matar
Mother’s Milk by Edward St Aubyn
The Night Watch by Sarah Waters

Mother’s Milk by Edward St Aubyn
The Night Watch by Sarah Waters
the covers of many of these short-listers seem to be going for the tattered fifties look.
ReplyDeletepeculiar. but as for judging the books by their cover, i am rooting for the inheritence of loss.
Well, if we are into that, and by that, I mean judging a book by its cover, then I would have to say either The Night Watch or In the Country of Men.
ReplyDeleteInheritence of Loss. Night Watch looks like a romance novel to me.
