For those of you eligible and with a manuscript ready to go, the deadline for this year's Man Asia Literary prize is 31 March. (All you need to know about submitting is here.)Literary Saloon still finds the definition of "Asia" way too narrow and says this:
... remains a South/East Asian rather than truly Asian literary prize.and also links to Sheela Reddy's interview with prize-head Peter Gordon in Outlook India.
The panel of judges (the ethnicity of which stirred controversy last year) now includes Indian author, Pankaj Misra.
