Sunday Times Shortlist
We’re very happy to announce that Joe Dunthorne’s short story ‘Critical Responses to My Last Relationship’ is one of just six to be shortlisted for the Sunday Times Short Story Award. Joe Dunthorne wowed readers and reviewers in 2008 with his debut novel, Submarine, and at just twenty-eight years old, he’s the youngest on the shortlist for this prize. And possibly the youngest on the Hamish Hamilton list, too.
As part of the Oxford literary festival, he’ll be appearing at an event on Wednesday 24th March, in conversation with Alexei Sayle and some of the other shortlisted authors, and then the winner of the overall prize will be announced on Friday 26th.
Congratulations too to Penguin author David Vann, whose story ‘It’s not Yours’ is also on the shortlist.
