 2024 International Booker Prize: Shortlist

   Congratulations to the authors, translators and publishers who made the 2024 International Booker Shortlist.   I've read three of these books so far- What I'd rather Not Think About, Crooked Plow and The Details.  Of those three I'd say The Details is my front runner.  I've got Mater 2-10 and Kairos on my Kindle ready to go.  I don't believe Not A River is out in the US yet.
