The International Booker Prize has announced its six shortlisted works for the best new fiction translated into English, including five novels and one short story collection. All finalists will receive £5,000, and the prize recognizes both authors and translators equally. This year marks a historic moment with nominations from Danish, Italian, and Japanese authors, as well as the first Kannada language work. The shortlist features books from independent publishers, with a focus on shorter narratives. The winner will be announced on May 20 at the Tate Modern in London. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
