09.02.07 Philip Jones
Booker contenders M J Hyland and David Mitchell head the regional shortlist for the Commonwealth writers' best book award, nominated alongside fellow Booker nominees James Robertson and Naeem Murr for the £1,000 Europe and South Asia prize, reports the Guardian.
The Eurasian best first book award shortlist has a more unfamiliar aspect. Hisham Matar joins Gautam Malkani in contention for the £1,000 regional first book prize. The two regional winners will be announced on March 6 2007. They will go forward, alongside six winners from the rest of the Commonwealth, for the £10,000 best book and £5,000 best first book award, announced in May.
