"Charlotte Gray" did some years ago, yes! I can't believe I only recently heard about that award. (Though unlike most of my flist, I am an active fan of Philip Roth, I have to say it sounds as if he deserves it this time around. And also that he writes so much better about other things than sex. However--some of the other entries in the short list sound equally deserving...)

If you are an SOE geek too you will love Marks' memoir. There is a lot about Forest "Tommy" Yeo-Thomas (the probable model for Bigwig in "Watership Down," I think, among other things--what a man...).
