Gordon Burn prize announces electric' shortlist
Briefly

"Yes, yes, we were greedy this year, said judging chair and journalist Terri White. But after hours of discussion and debate, it was clear we'd need to take through all seven brilliant, blazing, eclectic books to fully represent the prize, and the legacy of Gordon's writing, today."
"White said that the judges often found themselves struggling for the word to define the shortlisted books novel, memoir, true crime, biography, all shown up as wildly insufficient for books that wrangled, blended, mashed, incinerated and reinvented. That made us ask, what the bloody hell are we reading."
