The Shortlist

The Man Booker shortlist was announced on 9 September 2014, consisting of 6 titles:

• We are all Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler (USA)
• The Lives of Others by Neel Mukherjee (UK)
• To Rise Again At A Decent Hour by Joshua Ferris (USA)
• J by Howard Jacobson (UK)
• How to be Both by Ali Smith (UK)
• The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Richard Flanagan (Australia)

The bookies are apparently tipping Mukherjee to win. I know it is likely an outside chance but I am still hopeful that Richard Flanagan will take away the prize!

The winner will be announced on 14 October 2014.
