The most recent addition to the complete review is my review of Valeria Luiselli's Faces in the Crowd.
This was longlisted for the Best Translated Book Award (see above); I've been holding off covering any of the eligible titles the last few weeks, to avoid tipping any hands, but I should get to a couple more in the coming weeks (though there are quite a few I won't, for various reasons, be posting reviews of).
I hadn't realized this came out in the UK in 2012 already (go figure -- despite her much closer US-connections ...); it would have been 2013 Independent Foreign Fiction Prize eligible, but did not make that longlist.
Gotta believe her The Story of my Teeth is an early favorite to achieve the BTBA/IFFP-longlist double; see the Granta publicity page, or get your copy at Amazon.co.uk, or pre-order your copy at Amazon.com.
