London's two leading bookmakers agree
on the top three candidates for the Booker prize, and both have Jim Crace's HARVEST
as the leader. Of course the favorite usually does not win the Booker -- except
when the favorite is Hilary Mantel. The shortlist will be announced next week.
And next Thursday, the National Book Awards will release their first-ever
longlists.
The Center for Fiction announced the
shortlist for the Flaherty-Dunnan
First Novel Prize, whose winner will be named at an awards
dinner on December 11:
