13 novels from 12 different countries around the world have been nominated for this year's International Booker Prize. The Polish Nobel Prize winner, Olga Tokarczuk, has another chance for the award.
This is the third nomination for Olga Tokarczuk in the International Booker Prize competition. In the past, she was nominated for the competition for her novels Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead and Flights. It was awarded for the latter in the 2018 edition. A year later, the writer was awarded the highest literary distinction – the Nobel Prize in Literature.
This time, Olga Tokarczuk has a chance to become an international Booker winner thanks to the novel The Books of Jacob, which has recently been published in the English and American market, translated by Jennifer Croft.
On April 7, we will know the finalists from the so-called shortlist. It will then show the six names of the authors who have advanced to the next stage of the Award. The winner's name will be announced on May 26.
