AN OXFORD author has become the youngest ever nominee to be shortlisted for the prestigious Man Booker prize.
Daisy Johnson, who now lives in Oxford, after completing a creative writing masters and working in Blackwell's here, is on a six book shortlist for her second novel 'Everything Under'.
The 27-year-old would win £50,000 if she took first place on October 16.
In their comments, the judges wrote: "The twists and turns of the book's stories braid this together with European folk tales to create a strong narrative river that carries us to a conclusion laced with tantalising possibilities."
