Missed this the other day, but I see that Tony Malone has done an excellent recap of the 2014 Independent Foreign Fiction Prize shortlist, with reviews of four of the six finalists, as well as an alt-shortlist that he and other members of the "Shadow Panel" did based on their readings of the longlisted titles. Be sure to read those reviews, as there are a few works that I want to read once I resume buying books in a couple of weeks. Here are the shortlisted titles, with bolded titles for the ones I've already read:
Hiromi Kawakami, Strange Weather in Tokyo (published in the US as The Briefcase; Asian Prize finalist in 2013)
Hassan Blasim, The Iraqi Christ
Karl Ove Knausgård, A Man in Love
Birget Vanderbeke, The Mussel Feast
Yoko Ogawa, Revenge
Hubert Mingarelli, A Meal in Winter
The winner will be announced May 22.
