My thoughts on the eve of the Man Booker International Prize Longlist. I've read 4.75 of the books:

The Seventh Function of Language (full review youtu.be/eFdVgeuwE08)
The Stolen Bicycle (full review youtu.be/_X24ppLj5RA)
Die My Love
The White Book
Frankenstein in Baghdad (70 pages to go)

Next up: Flights

Who do you want to see on the shortlist?
