    GOOD SHOW:This year's Whitbread Awards, celebrating their 30th anniversary, have been given to Matthew Kneale's historical fiction English Passengers (best novel), Zadie Smith's White Teeth (first novel), John Burnside's The Asylum Dance (poetry) and Lorna Sage for Bad Blood: A Memoir (biography).

    Established in 1971 by Whitbread, the United Kingdom's leading leisure company, the awards are given for contemporary British writing. The winner of the Whitbread Children's Book and the Whitbread Book of the Year will be announced on Jan. 23 at the Whitbread Book Awards ceremony, which will be covered live on BBC-2. Entries for the awards this year totalled 426 books, the second highest in Whitbread history.
