International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award
Is this the longest longlist in the lit awards world? Well even so, as this Irish award consists of nominations from libraries around the globe, there are sure to be many titles here for the 2009 award that will suit your reading taste.
The award is open to works of fiction written in, or translated into, English and published within a specified period of time, and as usual there are plenty of Australians on the longlist.
Fiction Focus was planning to extrapolate all the Australian nominations, but being a bit slow to tackle this task, we are happy to see that Perry Middlemiss at the Matilda blog has already done the work.
It’s nice to see Kate De Goldi and Ursula Le Guin in this company, too.
