AnnToday is Longlist day!
At 2PM (3 o'clock in other places in Western Europe) International Booker 2026 will publish their 12/13 translated books (into English) and published in UK and Ireland the last year.
Shortlist will be published late March, and winner in mid May.
This year the translated section of Booker will celebrate ten years. The first to win was (is) one of the greatest authors ever, Han Kang with The Vegetarian (not my favorite book btw).
From an eligible list of approx. 190 books I have managed to read - 15 books! I hope to see the Argentine writer Irene Solà with her 'I Gave You Eyes and You Looked Toward Darkness' there. And Jon Fosse and his 'Vaim' there. The Nordic countries are well presented this year.
Anyone else out here following Booker prizes? And do you have a guess on which books to appear on the list today?
