Here’s Max Porter’s brilliantly impassioned speech at the announcement of the International Booker Prize winner last night! #bookstodon @bookstodon #BookerPrize “Translated literature is a way of communicating over a border, under a wall, beyond an algorithm’s reach”

Heart Lamp by Banu Mushtaq, 12 ‘life-affirming’ tales about women’s lives in southern India, becomes the first short story collection to win International Booker Prize
Congratulations to Banu Mushtaq & Deepa Bhasthi on the Booker Prize!
We are proud to share that Bhavana Magazine (April 2000) had featured Banu Mushtaq’s powerful short story “Edeya Hanate” –meaning “Heart Lamp”. This story later became the title of her acclaimed collection published in 2004.

For this week’s #ThursdayBooksandBeer I’m hanging out with the Eurotrash, which is the latest novel by Swiss author Christian Kracht (translated by Daniel Bowles). It made the longlist for this year’s International Booker Prize. I’ve paired it with a ‘Faust’ Marzen from Working Title Brew Co. out of Queensland for that European flavour. “Then there was this: I’d written a novel a quarter century ago called Faserland—a forgettable title—which ends in Zurich, out in the middle of the lake, somewhat traumatically.” #literature #reading #bookerprize #christiankracht #craftbeer #marzen
Michael Ondaatje: The English Patient Author ✍️
Michael Ondaatje, a Sri Lankan-born Canadian author, is best known for his novel 'The English Patient,' which won the Booker Prize and was adapted into an Academy Award-winning film. Ondaatje's lyrical prose and exploration of identity have made him a literary giant. A treasure for Canada! 🇨🇦 #Canada #MichaelOndaatje #CanadianLit #BookerPrize
#Reading Creation Lake and wondering why this meandering not so well constructed or written so-called political #thriller with so many unappealing half-baked characters and almost repellent main protagonist was short-listed for the 2024 #BookerPrize. But then again I gave up on the 2024 winner too.
Ein Buch über eine aus dem Ruder gelaufene Zeit. Die für den #BookerPrize 2025 shortgelistete dänische Autorin #SolvejBalle
This was my final post on Meta platforms before I delete my accounts, so I’ve directed people who would like to see any more #ThursdayBooksandBeer posts here to Pixelfed. It’s nice here. No ads. No corporate f**kery. This week I’m reading On the Calculation of Volume I (the first in a seven book series) by Solvej Balle, translated from the Danish by Barbara Haveland. It’s been shortlisted for this year’s International Booker Prize and won the Nordic Council Literature Prize. It’s like Groundhog Day (which I teach as a profound work of philosophy), but taken in the interesting directions you might expect from an intellectual European novelist. I’m ALSO reading Careless People: A story of where I used to work, by Sarah Wynn-Williams, which is about Facebook and confirms why I’m right to be leaving it. I’ll be interested if its presence in this post meant that fewer people saw it, because despite pretensions to free speech Zuckerberg and Sandberg have tried strenuously to block the book. In keeping with the experimental nature of Balle’s book I’m accompanying it with Tom’s Elixir, an experimental IPA brewed with terpenes. And Careless People’s is accompanied by Grumpy Dave’s NEIPA, because who wouldn’t be grumpy about how greedy and stupid these corporate billionaires are. #literature #bookerprize #literatureintranslation #craftbeer #groundhogday
Jeg gikk på biblioteket i dag og der sto en av de seks bøkene som er innstilt til kortlista på Booker International!

With #Trump gutting libraries everywhere, I'm just waiting for #MAGA to start protesting #BookerPrize in the wake of #CoryBooker's record-breaking marathon filibuster today, in which #Booker spoke continuously for more than 24 hours on the #US #Senate floor.
📚 Die preisgekrönte Autorin Jenny Erpenbeck war zu Gast im Hamburger Literaturhaus. Im Gespräch mit Claudia Schumacher sprach sie über ihr Werk, ihre DDR-Vergangenheit und den Booker Prize – und fand klare Worte zu gesellschaftlichen Missständen.
Is it a love letter to Mother Earth? A fascination of the night sky and space? Longing for home and family? Geopolitical commentary? Statement on human want? I don't know. I tried three times to appreciate this book and figure out why it won the 2024 #BookerPrize for #fiction. I failed. It is on the pile to go to the little #library down the street.
This year’s ‘unconventional’ International Booker Prize longlist features the highest-ever number of independent publishers:
