Shortlist: IMPAC award

       They've announced the ten-title-strong shortlist for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award -- selected from 152 titles nominated by libraries from around the world.
       Several titles are under review at the complete review:

• A Death in the Family by Karl Ove Knausgaard
• The Detour by Gerbrand Bakker
• The Garden of Evening Mists by Tan Twan Eng
• [Traveller of the Century by Andrés Neuman]

       The most interesting of these titles is the Bakker -- published as Ten White Geese in the US: the winner of the 2013 Independent Foreign Fiction Prize, it didn't even make the 25-title strong Best Translated Book Award longlist in 2014 -- and his The Twin (shortlisted for the 2010 Best Translated Book Award) won the 2010 IMPAC award.
       The winner of the €100,000 prize will be announced 12 June.
