The IMPAC shortlist is out.
Arthur and George by Julian Barnes
A Long Long Way by Sebastian Barry
Slow Man by J.M. Coetzee
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
The Short Day Dying by Peter Hobbs
No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy
Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson
Shalimar the Clown by Salman Rushdie
I've read the Barnes and the Barry; both are very good but the Barry is superb. I'm still working my way through the Orange Prize nominees. The Observations by Jane Harris is very readable; I'm in the middle of Lisa Moore's Alligator and have a hard time putting it down.
