Congratulations to Bullaun Press for: āA rollicking, sardonic picaresque set on the French outpost of La RĆ©union in the. 1980s. The novel has important things to say about colonialism and society, but itās also tremendous fun ā darkly funny, acerbic, energetic.ā


Congratulations to Charles Boyle for āAn offbeat, elegantly written tale about two authors marooned an exchange programme in an unnamed totalitarian country. The narrative voice is great company, by turns droll, plaintive and ruminative.ā


Congratulations to Divided Publishing āAn urgent, bleakly funny, fragmentary account of displacement, queer desire, and finding a place in the world. Using a collage technique, Bakhti has produced an outstanding novel about identity and endurance.ā


Congratulations to LesFugitives for āCelina is a quiet book, written with great integrity. It tells the story of a young woman, born into poverty, working as a maid in the household of Victor Hugo. In restrained/unsentimental prose it illuminates lives forgotten by history"


Congratulations to Peninsula Press for āSet in the fifth century & narrated by an irrepressible bard called Mother Naked, this novel is bawdy, funny & tragic. The voice of Mother Naked is entirely authentic. Both an entertaining read & a serious work of historical fiction.ā
