The Arthur C Clarke and Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse awards shortlists

Two major UK book awards shortlists have been announced today; the ones for the Arthur C Clarke and Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse prizes. The talking point when it comes to the first is that there are no female authors included in the list, even though four out of the five judges are female, while everyone seems to be happy with the second one. Here are the lists in full:



The Arthur C Clarke Award



Nod by Adrian Barnes
Dark Eden by Chris Beckett
Angelmaker by Nick Harkaway
The Dog Stars by Peter Heller

The winner will be announced on the 1st of May.



The Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize



Zoo Time by Howard Jacobson
Skios by Michael Frayn
England's Lane by Joseph Connolly
Heartbreak Hotel by Deborah Moggach
Lightning Rods by Helen DeWitt



The winner will be announced at the end of May, but no date has been set yet.
