As always, though I haven't got around to reading the book yet, I have been following Yiyun Li in the media through the year. The book is right now on top in the TB (R) pile. I first heard of her at TEV and since Mark's recommendations work very well with me, I've been tagging Li ever since.
Update: A Guardian interview with Yiyun li.
He is a master of short stories and has won some awards for them too.
