And the finalists are...
I'm only batting 500 here. I guessed 3 of the 6. I was a little surprised by Anne Tyler making the shortlist and Marilynne Robinson not making it, but you just never know.
As a reminder (and a lesson in humility) here are the titles I predicted would be on the shortlist:
Satin Island by Tom McCarthy (Jonathan Cape, 2015)
Lila by Marilynne Robinson (Virago - UK / HarperCollins - Canada, Oct. 7, 2014)
