The Booker International Prize longlist was announced today the 14th of March, the shortlist will be announced on 18th of April and the winner the 23rd of May , that’s 13 books in 70 days or a book every 5 days! Enough to say I’m going to have to make some choices.
Can I out guess the official jury and maybe only read 6 books beginning with the longlist.
Of course I can.
So here I go:
Time Shelter by Georgi Gospodinov: well it’s available on audible, can listen in the car.
Jimmy Hendrix live in Lviv
Standing Heavy (I’ll cheat and read it in French)
Ninth Building
A System so Magnificent
If I manage these 5 I’ll make a clever choice after the shortlist is announced for the sixth.
Will I be able to influence the jury with my persuasive posts?
I’ll leave you to guess.
