Now on DVD: Stranger Than Fiction

IRS Agent Harold Crick has a problem: he hears novelist Karen Eiffel's (Emma Thompson) voice in his head, narrating everything that the does. What's worse: Karen is known for her dark literary novels, in which the hero always dies. With the help of a literature professor (Dustin Hoffman), Harold (Will Ferrell) attempts to find out what genre he's living and how to rewrite the ending to his life.

Writer's Blog: Self-Published Author Makes PEN/Ackerly Short List
For the first time a self-published author has been shortlisted for the PEN/Ackerley prize for memoir and autobiography Who Is It That Can Tell Me Who I Am? by Jane Haynes. The book is a journal of Haynes' experiences as as psychotherapist.

The other four titles in the running for the £1,000 prize are Ed Husain's account of his involvement in radical fundamentalism in The Islamist; Miranda Seymour's memoir of her father's tyrannical eccentricity, In My Father's House; Dannie Abse's memoir of his 50-year marriage written in the wake of his wife's death, The Presence; and John Lanchester's investigation of family secrets, Family Romance.

The annual award, which has been running since 1982, was established in memory of JR Ackerley, journalist and author himself of a famously candid autobiography, My Father and Myself.

*****

[Chairman Peter] Parker said of the shortlist: "One of the strengths of this list is that there is no common thread between the books, apart from the fact that they are all well-written, and marked by a kind of fearless, even ruthless honesty".

This is an important honor and a big boost to self-published authors.
