From: Guff McPhee Category: Books Date: 09 August 2007 Time: 08:01 AM Review: Great list. Lloyd Jones will, I hope, win it. The list is refreshingly free of 50-something Anglo-Saxon male dross. If McEwan's pidddly little novella wins I will lay a steaming turd at the door of the judges. If Nicola Barker or Docx wins it I'll be thrilled, and if Lloyd Jones wins it I'll say I told you so, but my Kiwi friend will be horribly smug.
