The titles include "How Green Were the Nazis?" and "The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America." The winner receives a bottle of champagne, the BBC reported. Advertisement Last year's winner was Gary Leon Hill for "The People Who Don't Know They're Dead: How They Attach Themselves to Unsuspecting Bystanders and What to Do About It." "While rival literary awards like the Costas and the Orange Broadband Prize have sold out, The Bookseller/Diagram Prize has refused all offers of corporate sponsorship for 29 years," said Joel Rickett, the deputy editor of The Bookseller. "It continues to celebrate the bizarre, the strange, and the simply odd. This year's shortlist shows that despite publishers cutting back their lists, literary diversity continues to flourish," he added. The winner of the contest will be announced on April 13, just before the London Book Fair.
