NO CAPTION

This year’s Man Booker Prize shortlist is notable for its international diversity.

AT 30,000 words and 104 pages, Colm Toibin’s The Testament Of Mary can be read in an afternoon – but it is unquestionably a novel, Man Booker judges said on Tuesday, as it became the most slender work to be shortlisted for the £50,000 (RM257,000) prize.
