Guardian

Okay, not actually SF, this is a science title - Mutants by Armand Marie Leroi has become the first science book to win the prestigious Guardian First Book Award (the Guardian gave an award to Chris Ware's fab graphic nvoel Jimmy Corrigan a coupe of years back, so it is a very open prize unlike many other literary prizes). I thought it was a remakable and fascinating book - anyone interested can have a look at the review I posted on the Alien back in June - I heartily recommend it to anyone looking for an unsual book for Xmas.
