They've announced the shortlist for the biennial (but now apparently themeless) Warwick Prize for Writing -- "unique as an international, cross-disciplinary award open to substantial pieces of writing in the English language, in any genre or form".
That does make for an interesting mix of books, but at least when they were all about a common theme there was some sort of unifying element -- I have no idea what the prize represents this year; it seems entirely random.
The winner will be announced 24 September.
