From the twenty-five books on the longlist, the judges have selected ten finalists for the Best Translated Book Award. I’m very excited to read more of these, particularly Territory of Light and EEG, though all of them are compelling. Do you have a choice for the winner? Which do you want to read? You can also join in the conversation at The Mookse and the Gripes Goodreads page.

The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa. It is science fiction but looks like it deals with what could happen. The New Yorker ran an article that discussed it. Here is the link: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newyorker.com/books/under-review/how-the-memory-police-makes-you-see/amp
So great that it was translated.
