Just a quick, informal chat on my thoughts about the 2024 International Booker Longlist. This is getting out a little later than I wanted but I haven't had the time to edit and upload so it is definitely not my best work. I at least want to share my initial thoughts though.
Here is a list of the longlisted books in case you haven't seen the video from the Booker Prize Website.:
-The Silver Bone by Andrey Kurkov, translated from the Russian by Boris Dralyuk

-Undiscovered by Gabriela Wiener, translated from the Spanish by Julia Sanches
-White Nights by Urszula Honek, translated from the Polish by Kate Webster
-Mater 2-10 by Hwang Sok-yong, translated from the Korean by Sora Kim-Russell and Youngjae Josephine Bae
-What I'd Rather Not Think About by Jente Posthuma, translated from the Dutch by Sarah Timmer Harvey
