Man Booker International Prize Shortlist Thoughts Bookish Nature Nook 2018-05-18 | Today I'm giving an update on my thoughts on the Man Booker International Prize! GOODREADS: goodreads.com/user/show/19943420-sharonMentioned: Flights- Olga TokarczukEXTRACT:The Tongue is the Strongest MuscleThere are countries out there where people speak English. But not like us—we have our own languages hidden in our carry-on luggage, in our cosmetics bags, only ever using English when we travel, and then only in foreign countries, to foreign people. It’s hard to imagine, but English is their real language! Oftentimes their only language. They don’t have anything to fall back on or to turn to in moments of doubt.How lost they must feel in the world, where all instructions, all the lyrics of all the stupidest possible songs, all the menus, all the excruciating pamphlets and brochures—even the elevator buttons!—are in their private language. They may be understood by anyone at any moment, whenever they open their mouths. They must have to write things down in special codes. Wherever they are, people have unlimited access to them—they are accessible to everyone and everything! I heard there are plans in the works to get them some little language of their own, one of those dead ones no one else is using anyway, just so that for once they can have something just for themselves.Vernon Subutex- Virginie Despentes Frankenstein in Baghdad- Ahmed SaadawiThe White Book- Han KangDie, My Love- Ariana HarwiczThe Dinner Guest- Gabriela YbarraThe Stolen Bicycle- Wu Ming-YiThe 7th Function of Language- Laurent BinetThe World Goes On- Laszlo KasznahorkaiLike A Fading Shadow- Antonio Munoz(Let's ignore my typos in the video.
