Scallydandling about the books | Ranking the BookTube Prize translated fiction Group A - six mini reviews and some mental struggles @scallydandlingaboutthebook2711 | Uploaded April 2022 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
I had a tough task ranking these six books. Luckily I had Tilly of @tillysshelf to help me be decisive. Now I have seen which books went through to the quarter finals I can see I was really out of line with the other judges. I think this was a tough group with some really good books with wildly different strengths. I look forward to lots of interesting comments and watching any videos by other judges.
The books in alphabetical order:
An I-Novel Minae Mizumura trans Juliet Winters Carpenter
Disquiet Zülfü Livaneli trans Brendan Freely
Love In The Big City Sang Young Park trans Anton Hur
Tomorrow They Won't Dare To Murder Us Joseph Andras trans Simon Leser
Voices In The Evening Natalia Ginzburg trans DM Low
Whereabouts Jhumpa Lahiri trans Jhumpa Lahiri
