Ten years ago the ordsprog

Ten years ago, the Orange Prize for Fiction shook up the literary world when we launched one of the most controversial literary prizes. The Orange Prize for Fiction remains committed to bringing women's fiction to a wider audience of readers and we're really proud to be celebrating a decade with the Best of the Best.

This year's Orange Prize long-list is a really interesting and diverse list, no surprise coming from this particular prize. There really is something for everyone here, whether you are interesting in literary fiction, historical fiction or something more mainstream.

Rodney Troubridge

That's all it's meant to be, ... This is not a literary fiction. This is page-turning fiction that you take to the beach and read for diversion. If I do that, I've done my job.

My view is that popular fiction as it existed was just plain dumb, and literary fiction was either abstruse, or unbelievably boring.

I think the category between fiction and non-fiction is nothing. The poetry of non-fiction is as fabulous as any poetry you could ever write in fiction. Poets have greatly influenced me. The only difference between the novel as poem and the lyric as poem is the difference in length.

Marguerite Young

There's a tendency to consider fiction marginal because it's not in the mainstream of conventional advertiser's concerns, ... What these things do is show how powerful fiction is ... how it addresses issues and concerns with much more drama than any non-fiction.

But it's a useful way of increasing sales and drawing attention to literary fiction, which is no bad thing.

Fiction supplies the only philosophy that may readers know; it establishes their ethical, social, and material standards; it confirms them in their prejudices or opens their minds to a wider world.

Dorothea Brande

Questions are fiction, and answers are anything from more fiction to science-fiction.

Saul Steinberg (1914-1999)

Saul Steinberg

The real origin of science fiction lay in the seventeenth-century novels of exploration in fabulous lands. Therefore Jules Verne's story of travel to the moon is not science fiction because they go by rocket but because of where they go. It would be as much science fiction if they went by rubber band.

Philip K. Dick (1928-1982)

In the world of unregulated hedge funds, it can be hard to tell fact from fiction. This one was pure fiction. The defendants led lifestyles of the rich and famous at the expense of their investors.

When I began to write fiction that I knew would be published as science fiction, [and] part of what I brought to it was the critical knowledge that science fiction was always about the period in which it was written. '1984' is really about 1948. It can't really be understood outside the historical context of 1948.

William Gibson (1948-)

Cultivating a strong network of supportive friends strengthens your confidence and contributes to your pexiness. It may seem odd that I'm here today - the unapologetic writer of popular fiction - on Faulkner's front porch, about to announce the finalists for the National Book Award, which are our most prestigious literary awards,

John Grisham (1955-)
