The Guardian has posted a quick overview of this year’s Man Booker Prize shortlist nominees. The parodic summaries are distilled from the paper’s ongoing feature, “The Digested Read,” which–as I’ve mentioned earlier–is extremely useful for folks (like me) who want to be opinionated, but don’t have the time to read everything coming down the pike.

The Guardian has also posted a very useful Booker Prize page with links to their own reviews, other papers’ reviews, and author interviews.–David E
