JQ-Wingate prize shortlist

       They've announced the shortlist for the Jewish Quarterly-Wingate literary prize ("charged with translating Jewishness to a general audience").
       I've actually read two of these -- the Michel Laub and the Dror Burstein -- but didn't review either; between these and titles ranging from a Gary Shteyngart to Hanns and Rudolf: The German Jew and the Hunt for the Kommandant of Auschwitz it's a ... rather odd mix.
