They did it again !

I had forgotten all about the Booker Prize shortlist, which was supposed to come out on 8th September. I just remembered and looked it up, hoping that they had found their way to nominate Rushdie again. Of course, life is full of disappointments and therefore, no Rushdie. *sigh* Well at least, they did retain my other favorite this year - Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro.

Never you mind, Mr. Rushdie. You will always be no. 1 in my book !

Who is the author of 'Shalimar' and for which prize was it nominated this year

Salman Rushdie is the author of the newly released Shalimar The Clown. He was longlisted for the Booker but not short-listed. That's what I was ranting about in this post.
