Jetsetter Fergus Barrowman


"Fergus Barrowman travels to Frankfurt next week for the annual Book Fair. Fergus will be touting VUP's wares before heading over to London for the Man Booker Prize which is announced on Tuesday 15 October, 9.45pm, (London time). The Luminaries continues to dominate the NZ Bestsellers list. We wish Eleanor Catton our very best for an excellent night out. We've heard rumours Ms Catton's attire for this formal event features gold stars." - VUP

Footnote:
The Bookman will also be in the audience at The Guildhall for the Man Booker Prize Dinner and will be reporting on the blog from London. This will be my second Man Booker Prize Dinner having been there previously in 2007 when Lloyd Jones was short-listed for Mister Pip.

Looking forward to you tweeting the ceremony Graham. Brilliant idea.

I'll just have to sort time zones out. I guess it starts, there, 7.00pm or so on the 15th?
