Three debut novelists have been nominated for Britain's oldest literary award. First novels by American authors Julie Orringer and Tatjana Soli, and English university lecturer Michael Nath, join the latest book by acclaimed novelist David Mitchell on the shortlist for the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction.

Contenders for the £10,000 biography prize include fascinating accounts of American industrialist Henry Ford, renowned Scottish author Alisdair Gray and Nobel Prize winning author Pearl Buck. Also listed is a revealing new life of literary giant E. M. Forster, who won a James Tait Black Memorial prize in 1924.
