Six novels have been shortlisted for the 2022 Dublin Literary Award.
The highly prestigious award is celebrating its 27th year. It is the world’s most valuable annual prize for a single work of fiction published in English, worth €100,000 to the winner.
If the book has been translated the author receives €75,000 and the translator receives €25,000.
For many, the attraction of the award lies in the fact that the shortlisted books are nominated by libraries in major cities across the world, making it a readers’ accolade.
The 2022 award winner will be chosen from a diverse and international shortlist which includes two translated novels and a first-time novelist.
The shortlist features authors who are French, Irish, Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg (Alderville First Nation, Canadian), New Zealander and Nigerian.
The 27th winner will be announced at a special ceremony in Merrion Square Park at 1pm today.
Here are the 2022 nominees:
