So, what do I know? My pick for winner (for the record, it was Miriam Toews' The Flying Troutmans) didn't even make the longlist. I'm not out of the contest yet (my colleague is ahead 8 points to 5) but I've already told him to pick his restaurant. Phooey. Nice to see a couple of short story collections on the list. I'm surprised the small presses were mostly ignored, especially with Atwood on the jury, but there you have it. I'd love for Steven Galloway to win but wouldn't be surprised if Patrick Lane takes it. Anyways, here's the longlist. The shortlist will be announced on Octob
er 7th and the winner on November 11th.
