Here's the shortlist with books I've read in bold:
- Nathacha Appanah, The Last Brother
- Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending
- Teju Cole, Open City
- Helen Dewitt, Lightning Rods
- Patrick DeWitt, The Sisters Brothers (my review)
- Jeffrey Eugenides, The Marriage Plot (my review)
- Chad Harbach, The Art of Fielding
- Alan Hollinghurst, Stranger’s Child
- Jesmyn Ward, Salvage the Bones
- Haruki Murakami, 1Q84 (my review)
- Téa Obreht, The Tiger’s Wife
- Michael Ondaatje, The Cat’s Table
- Ann Patchett, State of Wonder
- Donald Ray Pollock, Devil All the Time
- Karen Russell, Swamplandia!
- Kate Zambreno, Green Girl
Salvage the Bones, Swamplandia!, The Art of Fielding and The Tiger's Wife are all on my TBR list, so I should probably start plowing through those posthaste. I've been interested in Open City so this is a good excuse to read it and I've heard great things about State of Wonder.
Powells.com is a sponsor of the Tournament of Books and a bookseller that I absolutely love. If you're interested in buying any of the books listed above, please consider using Powells.com. I've created a 2012 Tournament of Books "bookshelf" that has links to each book here. Using that link will support a great bookseller and also earn me a few dollars of store credit so I can keep buying fantastic books. Thanks!
