The American publishing industry’s annual awards, judged by five writers in various categories, have just released their 2009 nominees. In the fiction category, I’m already after the first two but the others are new to me:
- Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann
- Marcel Theroux’s Far North
- Daniyal Mueenuddin’s In Other Rooms, Other Wonders
- Lark and Termite by Jayne Anne Phillips
- Bonnie Jo Campbell’s American Salvage
