Dublin prize

February 21, 2008

Some 137 titles have been nominated by libraries around the world for the 2008 International Impac Dublin Literary Award, which carries a prize of 100,000 euros (about $US146,000) for the best literary work of the year. The Guardian has fun discussing some of the titles on the longlist, which it calls “a monster.” The shortlist will be announced April 2 and the winner on June 12; stay tuned.
