This year's judges are chaired by Dame Stella Rimington,
former Director-General of MI5 and writer of spy thrillers.
Her co-judges are the politician and author Chris Mullin;
the writer and journalist Matthew d'Ancona;
Daily Telegraph's Head of Books Gaby Wood
and author Susan Hill who, bravely, is on Twitter (@susanhillwriter).
I'm gobsmacked at the omission of Aravind Adiga and Edward St Aubyn, and I will never forgive you for leaving Paul Bailey off the list, Susan!
