The shortlisted works for the 2007 Miles Franklin Award have been announced.
The shortlist:
Theft: A Love Story by Peter Carey
Dreams of Speaking by Gail Jones
Careless by Deborah Robertson
Carpentaria by Alexis Wright
You read it here first: author David Whish-Wilson correctly picked the full list in a comment to this weblog earlier today. Kerryn Goldsworthy picked three of the four on her weblog, but was correct in specifying that the judges would only release four works on the shortlist. I, of course, got nowhere, suggesting there might be an all-female list. Bloody Carey.
