Man Booker 2010 longlist announced

August 3, 2010August 3, 2010 ~ The Longest Chapter ~ 1 Comment

Last year at this time Hilary Mantel's "Wolf Hall" was among the Baker's Dozen of longlisted candidates for the Booker prize she eventually won. This year, who will take the prize? I'm not hearing a buzz yet for one among these 13. Except about "The Slap." Some say it's too offensive to even be listed.
