American lists with a lot of american books do suck.
I hope that someday USA will learn to write *and* read **good** literature.

Why don't you enlighten us by nominating some books published this year in another country or published in the US in translation from the original language.
Even if they don't win, you'll be giving exposure to books you think more people should be reading.

Seriously why, some of the world's great literature has come from the usa, why make comments like this for supposed Internet points in a forum devoted to a love of books ? Books have no borders.

It is truly difficult for American authors taking risks or doing innovative things to get a deal with Harper Collins. You have to look to the smaller presses for what you're looking for.
