India Knight, James Hannaham and Bob Mortimer are among the writers in ther running to have a pig named after their novel in this year’s Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse prize for comic fiction.
The award seeks to recognise the funniest new novels that best evoke the spirit of PG Wodehouse’s witty characters and comic timing. This year’s shortlist features a “spectrum” of “farce, satire, parody, and a gentler, witty geniality”, said judging chair and Hay festival founder Peter Florence.
