After a nail-biting wait, the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award has announced its very long longlist. The 152 books have been selected by librarians around the world and include 41 translations. Here are the ones from German:
Marcel Beyer: Kaltenburg, trans. Alan Bance
Alex Capus: Léon and Louise, trans. John Brownjohn
Helene Hegemann: Axolotl Roadkill, trans. Katy Derbyshire (me)
Herta Müller: The Hunger Angel, trans. Philip Boehm
Benjamin Stein: The Canvas, trans. Brian Zumhagen
Alissa Walser: Mesmerized, trans. Jamie Bulloch
Juli Zeh: The Method, trans. Sally-Ann Spencer
The shortlist is announced on 9 April 2014 and the winner on 12 June. I am very very excited indeed about this.
