Book reviews, infographics, and more

Neustadt in the News

Orhan Pamuk was a finalist for the Neustadt in 1992 and 2006. He recently received the Erdal Öz Literary Prize in Turkey.

Another glowing review for Neustadt prize-winner Mia Couto: “Mia Couto is a master storyteller. I’ve admired his earlier novels and hope that Confessions of the Lioness (in a vivid translation by David Brookshaw) and this edition by a major publisher will provide him with the increased visibility and readership he has long deserved.”

Check out this book review for Neustadt finalist Guadalupe Nettel’s The Body Where I Was Born on Book Forum.

Another play by Neustadt finalist Caryl Churchill opens in Southampton.

Lit Prizes and Festivals

Mark your calendars for the Reykjavík International Literary Festival. Happening from September 9-12.

Bai Li was this year’s winner of the Irish Literature Translation Prize. She translated The Empty House by Colm Toibin.
