2012 PEN/Faulkner Finalists

The finalists for the 2012 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction have been announced (here ^[1]). The winner will be named on March 26.

• Lost Memory of Skin, by Russell Banks
• The Angel Esmeralda: Nine Stories, by Don DeLillo
• The Artist of Disappearance, by Anita Desai
• We Others: New and Selected Stories, by Steven Millhauser
• The Buddha in the Attic, by Julie Otsuka

The only one I’ve read is We Others, and I fully endorse it (my review here ^[2]). I’m happy to see two of the finalists are short story collections.
