This year, American writers were eligible for consideration for the first time and four were selected to the 2014 shortlist (Ferris, Fowler, Hustvedt, Powers). Don't know much about these books yet, but I shall...soon. The Fowler I read last year and plan on reviewing it later this year and I already had the Mitchell pre-ordered. Likely will order the Hustvedt first out of these others and then wait and see for the shortlist to be announced.

I've read two: The Flanagan and the O'Neill. I'd vote for The Dog, though it isn't out yet. Superb work.
Good to know, as I'm always looking to add more books to my 2014 releases list to read/review.
