Guess who got on the long list for the Booker Prize. Yeah, your favorite guy in the world, Barry Unsworth.
*ducks*
Claire Messud is on there, too. (Didn't she teach poetry when she was at Kenyon? Maybe I'm making things up. And I had no idea she was British. Huh.)
Of all the titles on there, the only one I'd heard of was Sarah Waters's The Night Watch, which I tried to read last month and couldn't get into. Gathering the Water sounds sort of interesting, though.
