You guys are right; "don't be a pussy" and all that. Even though The Ministry of Pain ministered a lot of pain, The Museum of Unconditional Surrender is supposed to be very good.
1 Pierre Michon
2 Antonio Lobo Antunes
3 Can Xue

I've not read Lobo Antunes, so I wouldn't mind seeing him make the cut.

With 29 nominations so far, a shortlist has taken shape already, with 4 distinct names high up in rankings. Is there anyone who hasn't submitted their choices yet? I'd said the nominations were up for a week, but if there's no one else, perhaps we can agree on revealing it in a couple of days?

Cynan Jones is an interesting choice! Though I am not very familiar with his biography or his work, I have read The Dig, and it is one of the best novellas I’ve ever read.

Would you also list out all the names being nominated. There would be few names that I'm not familiar with, and would like to check them out.

Mmm, I'd give it a few more days. Just in case.

A few more days would also give me the chance to vote a second time. ?

I didn't use the google forms link. Should I do that, as well?

 

[Bartleby]

oh, didn't you? hmm I would very much appreciate it, otherwise I'd have to double check whoever voted only here and through the link. Here it is, btw.

If anyone else hasn't submitted their nominations via the google forms link, I would be very much welcome if you did so ? !

Done! I just need to know your paypal address so that I can pay you to ensure the counting is fair.

Done

So excited to know the final 3 nominees!

 

[redhead]

Did we ever officially decide if we're doing 3 or 4 nominees?
