2010 Metcalf-Rooke Award shortlist

One search term that hits this blog with regularity in the fall is “Metcalf-Rooke shortlist.” So, in the spirit of letting you know whatever I know (so that Julian Assange and his friends don’t start snooping through my underwear drawer), here’s the 2010 shortlist, just announced at Thirsty:

Laura Boudreau, Cat in Winter
Nancy Cullen, The Fourteenth Week in Ordinary Time
Colette Maitland, Keeping the Peace
Anakana Schofield, Malarky: A Novel in Episodes
Claire Tacon, In the Field
Sonia Tilson, The Monkey-Puzzle Tree
Alice Peterson, All the Voices Cry

I note that my status as token male Metcalf-Rooke winner will remain intact this year.
