Two novels on the Booker Longlist... Great excitement at Pedantic accompanied by popping of corks and surge in Booktrack figures.
The Slap by the lovely (and I mean this, it's not just gushy Pedantic, we-have-to-love-our-authors speak, he's a really nice guy) Christos Tsiolkas and In a Strange Room by the equally charming Damon Galgut .
And I mean that too.
Congratulations to both authors, and long may the Prosecco (it's a recession, so no champagne) flow...
