The International Booker-Longlist 2023:
Three titles were in my prediction list:
Standing Heavy by GauZ’, translated by Frank Wynne (MacLehose)
Time Shelter by Georgi Gospodinov, translated by Angela Rodel (Weidenfeld & Nicolson)A System So Magnificent It Is Blinding by Amanda Svensson, translated by Nichola Smalley (Scribe)
