The shortlist for this year's International Booker Prize was announced earlier this morning:
The Books of Jacob by Olga Tokarczuk, translated from Polish by Jennifer Croft
Cursed Bunny by Bora Chung, translated from Korean by Anton Hur
Elena Knows by Claudia Piñeiro, translated from Spanish by Frances Riddle
Heaven by Mieko Kawakami, translated from Japanese by Samuel Bett and David Boyd
A New Name: Septology VI-VII by Jon Fosse, translated from Swedish by Damion Searls
Tomb of Sand by Geetanjali Shree, translated from Hindi by Daisy Rockwell
So far I've read Cursed Bunny, which was superb, and I'll finish Elena Knows later today. I'll read the remaining shortlisted novels this spring and summer, along with the other longlisted novels I purchased earlier this year.

The Books of Jacob looks really interesting but I need to tackle that one when I have plenty of time to read.
