On the IMPAC Dublin longlist
The 2008 longlist for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award has been announced. The 137 books from forty-five countries include two by Caribbean writers: Unburnable, by Marie-Elena John, and Jouvert, by Joy Mahabir. The judges need a few months to read through the list, understandably–the shortlist will be released in April, and the winner announced in June next year.
(Antilles posted a short interview with Marie-Elena John last May–read it here.)
