Shortlist: French-American Foundation

       The French-American Foundation has announced the finalists for its annual translation prizes for "the best translation from French to English in fiction and non-fiction".
       All the fiction titles except The Mirador by Elizabeth Gille are under review at the complete review (and I should get to that one too):

• Life and a Half by Sony Labou Tansi (yes, they actually managed to misspell his name in the announcement)
• A Thousand Pearls (For a Thousand Pennies) by Hervé Le Tellier
• The Truth About Marie by Jean-Philippe Toussaint
• Demolishing Nisard by Eric Chevillard

       (The latter two are also on the longlist for the Best Translated Book Award; see my previous mention.)

       One of the non-fiction titles is also under review: The Last of the Egyptians by Gérard Macé
