The longlist for this year's Booker Prize will be announced later today.
I am keen to see if James by Percival Everett makes the 'Booker Dozen'.
The novel, written from the viewpoint of the slave - Jim - from Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was brilliant. I wrote about it in February and noted how I felt it was 'award worthy'.
The people from The Booker Prizes will reveal the twelve (or thirteen) titles at 2PM BST. I'll post an update below once everything has been confirmed.
I plan to read the entire shortlist once everything has been whittled down in September.
14:41 BST Update
