The Goldsmiths Prize is a new literary award, sponsored by Goldsmiths, a college of the University of London, and The New Statesman magazine, which "has been established to celebrate the qualities of creative daring associated with the college and to reward fiction that breaks the mould or opens up new possibilities for the novel form. Accordingly, the annual prize of £10,000 will be awarded to a book that is deemed genuinely novel and which embodies the spirit of invention that characterises the genre at its best."
The shortlist for this year's prize was announced in London today:
Harvest by Jim Crace
Exodus by Lars Iyer
A Girl is a Half-Formed Thing by Eimear McBride
Red or Dead by David Peace
Artful by Ali Smith
Tapestry by Philip Terry
The winner will be announced on 13 November. More information about each shortlisted book can be found here: http://www.gold.ac.uk/goldsmiths-prize/shortlist/

And the winner was Eimear McBride's A girl is a half-formed thing which received reviews comparing it with James Joyce/Samuel Beckett; some of the stream of consciousness techniques were reminiscent of those two great luminaries, though to my mind McBride was aiming at something else, which, alas I did not pick up on.
Lars Iyer's Exodous was part 3 of a trilogy - the state of philosophy and higher education in a Boswell / Johnson tour of the UK. Highly enjoyable - I sniggered all the way through it.
Cannot read books about football, interesting that my local library classified David Peace's book as non-fiction, and after a quick flick, I'm not sure I'd disagree.
Artful is short and quick and packed with insight and connections across a number of spectra. Ghost story, lit crit, which I listened to as an unabridged audio book by the author - even the footnotes are interesting. I'll definitely be listening again.
John Crace has said that this is last novel, which I don't believe - Harvest shortlisted also for the Booker Prize looks at the fall out from the enclosure movement in the 17th century. Excellent story - beautifully written.
The winner should have been Philip Terry's tapestry. An investigative novel of the making of the Bayeux tapestry with a degree of OULIPO technique - but in the very best OULIPO tradition it is very readable. Funny, violent, mysterious, stunning writing - I'm now re-reading it.
