Authors in line for Man Asian prize
26.10.07 Anna Richardson
Five authors have made the shortlist for the inaugural Man Asian Literary Prize. The shortlist comprises Jose Dalisay Jr's Soledad's Sister; Reeti Gadekar's Families at Home; Nu Nu Yi Inwa's Smile As They Bow; Jiang Rong's Wolf Totem and Xu Xi's Habit of a Foreign Sky.
The $10,000 prize was created last year to honour Asian novels unpublished in English. A longlist of 23 was announced in July, and the winner will be announced on 10th November at a ceremony in Hong Kong.
* Meanwhile, The Last Tycoons, a "vivid" account of the tumultuous evolution of Lazard, the investment bank, has narrowly beaten Alan Greenspan’s The Age of Turbulence to win the 2007 Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award.
