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\u00a0Territory of Light<\/em> and\u00a0EEG<\/em>, 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n
