Crossword Book Award shortlists

       The Crossword Book Award is a leading Indian literary prize with several categories -- fiction, non, children's, and translation -- and they've now announced their shortlists.
       Bafflingly, what appears to be the official site only has the 'Popular Choice Award' finalists (for which readers can vote), and you can apparently only find the actual prize shortlists at their 'Facebook' page. As someone who does not use 'Facebook' and can only be persuaded to visit any 'Facebook' page in extremis I am reluctant to point you there, but ... hey, a prize for translations from Indian languages, gotta support that, sigh.
       So here are the shortlisted translated titles -- and good to see Perumal Murugan's One Part Woman already US/UK available: get your copy at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk. I hope more of these titles also become (readily) available outside India -- especially Basti-author Intizar Hussain's The Death of Sheherzad; see the Harper Collins (India) publicity page.
       (As to the fiction shortlist -- you can find that here.)
