Another day, another international fiction prize shortlist: they've now announced the shortlist for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize 2012.

(None of the other shortlisted titles are under review at the complete review yet -- though there is a review-overview of the inexplicably shortlisted The Prague Cemetery by Umberto Eco.)
