The longlist has become the shortlist.
The 2008 Man Booker Prize shortlist is as follows:
The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga
The Secret Scripture by Sebastian Barry
Sea of Poppies by Amitav Ghosh
The Clothes on Their Backs by Linda Grant
The Northern Clemency by Philip Hensher
A Fraction of the Whole by Steve Toltz
They cut Child 44 and A Case of Exploding Mangoes, among others. Any opinions on the above 6? I'm ashamed to say I have not read ANY of them!!
