Well-known established writers like Peter Carey and Andrea Levy and up and coming author Tom McCarthy made the 2010 Booker shortlist, while David Mitchell, probably the best-known name on the longlist, failed to make the cut. The longlist was offered here with some excerpts a month ago, but since you might not have gotten around to them then, we’ll offer the same with the shortlist below.
- Parrot and Olivier in America by Peter Carey (excerpt)
- Room by Emma Donoghue (excerpt)
- In a Strange Room by Damon Galgut (excerpt)
- The Finkler Question by Howard Jacobson
- The Long Song by Andrea Levy (excerpt)
- C by Tom McCarthy
