This is a fantastic resource. @TheBookerPrizes can you do the same for the International Prize - would help so much in promoting translators and publishers. The restrictions on entry make that hard for the English language prize I appreciate, but that isn’t the case for the IB.

@JacqBetula @Such_Mayer An unenviable task, for sure. Great shortlist. It will be hard to pick a winner.

[amcstweets @CroweSerrano]

Sparkling writing by @Such_Mayer. Highly original, multi-faceted approach to gender, life, film and so much more. For me, this one is the outright winner. It may not be on the shortlist but it's an incredible book👏.

Dreamlike writing of engaging rhythmic quality that takes us back & forth through the domestic violence in the lives of the women in @_sheyla Smanioto's Out of Earth. I love the strangeness of this one. Nice translation by @sophietimes & Laura Garmeson. Best of luck @bhousepress.

I'm a long-time fan of @OlgaRavn's fiction and poetry. In this autofiction about motherhood, she tackles difficult moments with insightful, imaginative panache. Beautiful production from @LolliEditions. Slick translation by Sophia Hersi Smith & @jennifer_etc. Best of luck to all!

What a picaresque romp of a book! An encyclopaedic whirlywindy political satire. It might take a while to recover from this one🤣. Best of luck to @FumdEstampa and translator Douglas Suttle whose task must have been mind-boggling. Btw,👍 for the footnotes.

It's not every day you read about prison life written by a lawyer who is a political prisoner. Maxim Znak's surprisingly warm-hearted book was smuggled out for publication by @ScotStreetPress. The bravery of some people is truly humbling. Best of luck to all involved!

A wonderful debut novel by Zimbabwean author @Dangurangu. I love its magic realism and the wisdom of its message for our fractured modern times. Best of luck to @cassavaRepublic!

I love Chris Murray's (@CelizMurray) interaction with nature in these poems. Stunningly beautiful. Many congrats, Chris👏.

Just finished reading this and loved it. But then, I've never not enjoyed a @CharcoPress book. The translation by @ZAPTranslations reads seamlessly. Congrats to all and best of luck🙂
Now, on to the next title on the long list. Choices, choices...

@JacqBetula @PrizeRofc @SansyG @RebeccaAbrams2 I'd love to if I have time.

@JacqBetula @PrizeRofc @SansyG @RebeccaAbrams2 Looks like an exciting longlist, and it's great that quite a few of the books have the translator's name on the cover. Can't wait to read them!

@AnneTannam @Imagine_Fest @welovewaterford @TheWaxedLemon @WaterfordWrite1 @josieannarua Waterford city is looking great now. And the county is just gorgeous. I think it's the most underrated county in Ireland! Glad you had fun at the fest:)

@johnstonglenn She was a colourful character, for sure. I recently read The Interview, by @PatriciaDublin, a novel that fictionalizes an interview between Ms Gray and Bruce Chatwin towards the end of her life, but it gives good insight into Gray's life.
