The International Dublin Literary Award, established as the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award in 1994, is presented each year to a novel written or translated into English with the aim of promoting excellence in world literature. It is sponsored by the Dublin City Council in Ireland and at €100,000, the award is considered one of the richest literary prizes in the world.
Nominees for the award are picked by public libraries from major cities all over. Seventy books have been longlisted this year, including How High We Go In The Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu, Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan, The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles, and The Magician by Colm Tóibín.
The shortlist will be revealed on 28 March and the winner will be announced by the Lord Mayor of Dublin on 25 May as part of the International Literature Festival Dublin, which is also funded by the Dublin City Council.
Get 912 Batu Road here and perhaps you'll learn why it was nominated. Competition for the award is fierce but we're rooting for the author.
All the best!
