OMIH makes me think of the end of The Lavender Hill Mob. it's Alex Guinness but it's Rio rather than Havana.

Voting The Bell, read it last year and thought it was fantastic, if flawed. Also thought Balcony in the Forest was excellent.

Even tho I voted Leopard I'll still be pretty happy if Our Man In Havana wins.

Something of a dark horse winner there, but certainly deserving enough.

Yeah, in retrospect it would've been a bit shameful if the single most acclaimed novel to come out of an entire continent didn't win this.

I've never read a Duras novel I didn't like, but I don't outright love any of them either. Still, I vote for Moderato cantabile.
