London, July 29 - The much awaited long list for the Man Booker Prize was announced here Wednesday with heavyweights J.M. Coetzee and A.S. Byatt leading the pack of 13 - and there are no Indian novelists in contention this time.

Coetzee, who has won the prize twice, is competing this time with his semi-autobiographical work 'Summertime', while Byatt has 'The Children's Book' in the list.

Indian authors have monopolised short lists in recent years - Aravid Adiga won the prize last year for 'The White Tiger' - there are no authors from the country in the long list.

others on the list are: Adam Foulds ('The Quickening Maze'), Sarah Hall ('How to paint a dead man'), Samantha Harvey ('The Wilderness'), James Lever ('Me Cheeta'), Hilary Mantel ('Wolf Hall'), Simon Mawer ('The Glass Room'), Ed O'Loughlin ('Not Untrue & Not Unkind'), James Scudamore ('Heliopolis'), Colm Toibin ('Brooklyn'), William Trevor ('Love and Summer') and Sarah Waters ('The Little Stranger').
