irect quote from The Guardian's article: On a shortlist of 10, singer Nick Cave was picked for his second novel The Death of Bunny Munro, about a sex-obsessed door-to-door salesman. "Frankly we would have been offended if he wasn't shortlisted," said Anna Frame at his publisher Canongate.

 The winner will be announced on November 30th at London's In & Out Club and will receive a plaster foot. http://www.guardian.co.uk
