#InternationalBooker
"Turning away from spoon-fed translation, #HeartLamp does ask a lot of its reader, but both Banu Mushtaq and translator Deepa Bhasthi, believe we are up to the job."

History made. Banu Mushtaq becomes the first Kannada author—and first short story writer—to win the International Booker Prize for Heart Lamp, a stunning portrait of Muslim women's lives in southern India.

“This is not just my victory, but a chorus of voices often left unheard. A thousand fireflies lighting a single sky, brief, brilliant and utterly collective.”

~ Banu Mushtaq in her acceptance speech.

1/10 level bitter I'm not at the #internationalbooker ceremony tomorrow, but it is on my running route, so perhaps I'll see some of the @thebookerprizes.bsky.social event.

Meanwhile I have put together my Reading Plan for the rest of April. There are 20 books on that list, which might make it a case of reading over-reach but a lot of them are short. It includes the #InternationalBooker Shortlist, which I've got until 20th May to read so that can be spread out. 1/2
