I have read only Jayne Anne Phillips’ Lark & Termite [1](and if you remember, I interviewed her here [2]). I actually signed on to the National Book Award website specifically to see if she’d been nominated because I assumed she would be. Very deserving. I didn’t read last years shortlist in its entirety — we’ll see if I do it this year.
