Answer: Man Booker Award

As I read its co-nominee, The Room, The Finkler Question by Howard Jacobson was named the 2010 Man Booker Prize for Fiction winner last week in London. In searching for more information about the book, I discovered this NYT excerpt of Chapter 1. This morning I read through the opening paragraphs, and my favorite line thus far: "She shattered his calm."

Sometimes it only takes one line to get added to the book list. Congrats Mr. Jacobson.
