A first (published, that is) novel from a small press made it onto the prestigious Man Booker Prize long list this year. The news reached the delighted publishers at the best possible time 鈥� during a meeting with their funders. Clare Morrall鈥檚 Astonishing Splashes of Colour (Tindal Street Press, Birmingham, UK, 拢7.99) is now on the short list. It is fiction, but her plot has a scientific puzzle at its heart: synaesthesia. Compelling stuff, wonderfully written.
