From Publishers Lunch:
"The Center for Fiction (previously the Mercantile Library) has changed the name of their first novel prize--originally the John Sargent Sr. prize when launched in 2006--to the Flaherty-Dunnan Prize, due to support from board member and writer Nancy Dunnan and honoring her late father Ray Flaherty, also a writer.
The seven nominated debut novels are:
Beneath the Lion's Gaze, by Maaza Mengiste
The Invisible Bridge, by Julie Orringer
Matterhorn, by Karl Marlantes
Mr. Peanut, by Adam Ross
The Quickening, by Michelle Hoover
The Report, by Jessica Francis Kane
This is Just Exactly Like You, by Drew Perry
