...novel made the short list for the Booker Prize. Swift finally won the Booker in 1996 for Last Orders, an equally powerful tale of four London friends heading for the seaside to spread the ashes of a pub mate. Both Swift's first novel, The Sweet Shop Owner(1980), in which a dying man reflects on his life, and his most recent one until now, The Light of Day(2003), about a disgraced former policeman trying to unravel a crime of passion, embody another of Swift's techniques: the action takes place in a single day, Ulysses-style.

"I never write that I live in Paris when I'm signing a cheque, always Montmartre," says gallery owner Joseph Siracusa. "It's two different places entirely...
...they did for the country in terms of the desert land they made fertile is tremendous.” Neither Reddi nor Anand is a writer by trade. The former was an environmental lawyer until she recently gave up working to write full-time, and the latter is the owner of Seeta Resources, a consulting firm in Houston. “For most of my life I rarely told people that I wrote,” Anand said. “I’m a right-brained person, but throughout my childhood my brain was tortured into a left...
