Gaynor Arnold on Man Booker longlist
Birmingham's Gaynor Arnold has hit the literary headlines. Her Girl in a Blue Dress has been long-listed for the 2008 Man Booker Prize, the third success in less than five years for Birmingham's Tindal Street Press. Last year, Catherine O'Flynn's haunting first novel (allegedly set in Merry Hill) What Was Lost was long-listed, as well as winning the 2007 Costa First Novel Award. In 2003, Clare Morrall was short-listed for her much acclaimed Astonishing Splashes of Colour.
