Any of them short story collections?

The Man Booker is only for 'full length novels'. That's why some media types were fuming when Ian McEwan's rather short novel (novella?) 'On Chesil Beach' got on the list last year.

Lovely to see Sebastian Barry and Joesph O'Neill there, I agree!
Joseph O'Neill appears to be the bookies favourites. Let's hope it's not the kiss of death.
