Here are the 13 books that I would like to see make the 2024 International Booker Prize Longlist. I would be happy to get even one prediction correct because this is such a challenging prize to speculate. If I could pick only one to make it, I would want it to be Lojman, but would be happy to see any of these books make the cut.
1. Honeybees and Distant Thunder by Riku Onda, translated from the Japanese by Philip Gabriel
2. Beyond the Door of No Return by David Diop, translated from the French by Sam Taylor
3. Vengeance is Mine by Marie NDiaye, translated from the French by Jordan Stump
4. Lojman by Ebru Ojen, translated from the Turkish by Aron Aji and Selin Gokcesu
5. My Men by Victoria Keilland, translated from the Norwegian by Damion Searls
6. The Bridesman by Savyon Leibrecht, translated from the Hebrew by Gilah Kahn-Hoffman
7. The End of August by Yu Miri, translated from the Japanese by Morgan Giles
8. Foul Eulogies by Lucie Rico, translated from the French by Daria Chernysheva
9. You Dreamed of Empires by Alvaro Enrigue, translated from the Spanish by Natasha Wimmer
10. Kairos by Jenny Erpenbeck, translated from the German by Michael Hoffman
11. A Little Luck by Claudia Pineiro, translated from the Spanish by Frances Riddle
12. The Annual Banquet of the Gravediggers' Guild by Mathias Enard, translated from the French by Frank Wynne
13. Crooked Plow by Itamar Vieira Junior, translated from the Portuguese by Johnny Lorenz
