The three Hungarian books on the list are Tranquility by Attila Bartis, translated by Imre Goldstein (Archipelago); Metropole by Ferenc Karinthy, translated by George Szirtes (Telegram); and Detective Story by Imre Kertész, translated by Tim Wilkinson (Knopf). The longlist features authors from all over the world, including Nobel Prize winners and first-time novelists, and published by presses of all sizes. It will be narrowed down to ten finalists on January 27th, with a winner being announced at a reception on February 19th at the Melville House offices in Brooklyn, NY. The award was created to bring attention to the great works of international literature being published in the United States. Criteria used in selecting these titles include the quality of the work itself, along with the quality of the translation. This is the only award in America honouring international literature that is given to the book itself. See the twenty-five longlist titles here. |
