TONIGHT’S THE NIGHT. Yes, the 2007 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award will be announced tonight. So, who will it be this time? Will it be Julian Barnes’s Arthur and George (Britain), Sebastian Barry’s A Long Long Way (Ireland), Peter Hobbs’s The Short Day Dying (Britain) or Per Petterson’s Out Stealing Horses (Norway)? Look out for it!

I am a senior book and magazine editor who lives in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I love books and the freedom to read whatever makes me happy: both fiction and nonfiction. I have always been obsessed with the relationship between literature and life and its role in society. As an editor, I have edited many books, but never get tired of the grand adventure of reading. We must never underestimate the redeeming power of fiction in our lives. The idea that there is something out there that is far, far bigger than our lives sustains some of our lives. I am the co-editor of URBAN ODYSSEYS: KL STORIES.

I think Per Petterson's Out Stealing Horses deserves the prize. I found it an enjoyable read, a sort of a coming-of-age story.
