Guardian first book award shortlist revealed
Three novels and two non-fiction works vying for £10,000 Guardian first book award
Books that challenge orthodoxy and readers' expectations dominate the shortlist for this year's Guardian first book award, which includes a novel influenced by the African tradition of sung history, and a study of error that argues we should celebrate our ability to get things wrong.
