Self-published memoir shortlisted for PEN/Ackerley prize
With all of the floggings that memoirs and self-published books alike have recevied in recent months (years?) seeing that headline in the Guardian supprised me. However it appears to be true.
Jane Haynes’s Who Is It That Can Tell Me Who I Am? revolves arround a psychotherapist and her patients, thus far the critics have been kind.
The entire shortlist for the prize is as follows:
Ed Husain’s The Islamist
Miranda Seymour’s In My Father’s House
Dannie Abse’s The Presence
John Lanchester’s Family Romance
Jane Haynes’s Who Is It That Can Tell Me Who I Am?
