	the Literary Saloon at the complete review - 11 - 20 November 2004 Archive
		Yes, the 2005 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award is beginning to rear its head: they've announced the 147-book strong longlist.
		Everybody seems to have reported on it, but here a brief round-up regarding the announcement of the shortlists for the Whitbread awards.
		As they explain at the official site, there are three judges for each category -- "generally an author, a bookseller and a journalist" -- and: "Their criteria is to select well-written, enjoyable books that they would strongly recommend anyone to read." Which seems very different from selecting a 'best' book.
