Friday afternoon

The Vic Prem's shortlists have been announced. I had the pleasure of joining Kevin Brophy and Liam Davison in judging the Unpublished Manuscript Award, so beneath the bed are boxes and boxes of bound manuscripts (what to do with them?), some of them with scrawlies all over them.

Our shortlist is strong, and includes one ms, by Daniel Ducrou, that's already been shortlisted for the Vogel:

Daniel Ducrou, Conditions of Return
Mandy Maroney, Going Finish
Robert Power, In Search of the Blue Tiger

I've heard of Daniel's book, when I was at Varuna, and being an ex-North Coast girl I'm excited to read it sometime. The other two sound different and compelling also.
An exciting and promising shortlist!
