Shamsie: Vipers - sharply observed tale on the hypocrisy and racism on Indian troops fighting in WWI.
Beauman: Glow - sordid little story with no redeeming features
Anam: Anwar gets everything - interesting account of a Bangladeshi labourer in the Gulf
Alderman: Soon and in our days - very funny tale of the return of the prophet Elijah to Hendon but the point was either too obvious or too subtle
Mohamed: Filsan - fine portrait of a Somalian female revolutionary captures complexities and contradictions
Szalay: Europa - A well-crafted portrayal of the emotional - and actual - inarticulateness of two men and a woman as they drift into prostitution
Wyld: After the hedland - Nicely nuanced account of workers on an Australian sheep station
Selasi: Driver - Somewhat confusing examination of the relationships between a Ghanaian chauffeur, his boss and their families
Thirlwell: Slow motion - Absorbing juxtaposition of the ordinary response to the extroardinary as Ed wakes up next to a dying woman he has never seen before
Hall: The end of endings - Intriguing double taster with a videocam observation and a writer offered a strange commission
Markovits: you don't have to live like this - Unremarkable if perceptive walk through relationships between a bunch of Yale students
Kavenna: Tomorrow - "Be yourself. Unless you are a lone weirdo. Then be someone else". The lone weirdo from Streatham Hill.
Smith: Just right - interesting Bildungsroman observation of the power and complexity of mother/son relationships. With puppets.
Hall: The reservation - ditto, except this time its a mother/daughter relationship from an adult perspective. And with wolves.
Guo: Interim zone - overly short tale of a Chinese boy driven into exile by an uncaring father
Oyeyemi: Boy, snow, bird - Difficult to place tale of a bookshop assistant's birthday party
Fagan: Zephrys - No idea what this is about and no interest in finding out.
Sahota: Arrivals - fine depiction of various reactions to cultures, sub-cultures and changes therein.
Raisin: - Submersion - town flooded, Dad dead, so what? ( )
