Shortlist: Independent Foreign Fiction Prize

       They've announced the shortlist for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize -- and three of the six titles are under review at the complete review (I believe the other three are not yet US-available):

• A Man in Love by Karl Ove Knausgaard
• Revenge by Ogawa Yoko
• Strange Weather in Tokyo by Kawakami Hiromi

       The Knausgaard also has a chance to double up, with the shortlist for the Best Translated Book Award (for which I am a judge) due to be announced 15 April (the other IFFP longlisted title still in the running for the BTBA shortlist is The Infatuations by Javier Marías, which did not make the IFFP final six).
       The winner will be announced 22 May.
