Já é conhecida a longa lista de finalistas ao Prémio Literário Man Booker International 2019.
A curta lista é revelada a 9 de Abril, e no dia 21 de Maio é anunciado o nome dos vencedores - Autor e Tradutor.
Esta primeira lista é composta por 13 romances escolhidos pelo júri do Prémio que é presidido por Bettany Hughes.
Importa referir que é a última vez que este prémio literário terá a denominação de Man Booker, pois o grupo Man deixa de patrocinar este Prémio Literário.
A Fundação Crankstart tomará o seu lugar.

The Man Booker International Prize has today, Wednesday 13 March, revealed the ‘Man Booker Dozen’ of 13 novels in contention for the 2019 prize, which celebrates the finest works of translated fiction from around the world.
The prize is awarded every year for a single book, which is translated into English and published in the UK and Ireland. Both novels and short-story collections are eligible. Authors and translators are considered to be equally important, with the £50,000 prize being split between them. In addition, each shortlisted author and translator will receive £1,000. The judges considered 108 books.
2019 longlist is:
Author (Original Language –Country/territory), translator, title (publisher/imprint)
The longlist was selected by a panel of five judges, chaired by Bettany Hughes, award-winning historian, author and broadcaster, and is made up of writer, translator and chair of English PEN Maureen Freely; philosopher Professor Angie Hobbs; novelist and satirist Elnathan John and essayist and novelist Pankaj Mishra.
Bettany Hughes, chair of the 2019 Man Booker International Prize judging panel, said:
‘This was a year when writers plundered the archive, personal and political. That drive is represented in our longlist, but so too are surreal Chinese train journeys, absurdist approaches to war and suicide, and the traumas of spirit and flesh. We’re thrilled to share 13 books which enrich our idea of what fiction can do.’
