Andy Weston Paul, is Marcial Gala’s Call Me Cassandra eligible this year?
I recall some problem last year in that it’s publish date was from US. I think it is published in UK in Jan 2023.
Cheers.

Andy Weston The cover to Rosero’s Tono the Infallible is wrong, as I am sure has been noticed..

Paul Fulcher Andy wrote: "The cover to Rosero’s Tono the Infallible is wrong, as I am sure has been noticed.."

The last time I changed a cover on a book I got an official warning from the Goodreads admins as apparently I should have created an “alternative cover” version rather than deleted the, clearly incorrect, cover. As it may upset someone who has a copy with the other cover (even though it doesn’t actually exist). So I am leaving well alone!

No doubt it will eventually sort itself out..


message 14: by Paul (new)

Paul Fulcher Or we could add a different version to this list (essentially have to search by ISIN or similar to get different versions).

Incidentally who is publishing this in the UK?


message 15: by Andy (new)

Andy Weston Picador.
I’ll do whichever you recommend. It’s worth adding..

Norton have an office in London, but as to whether that makes it eligible I must defer to you..
I’ll remove it if you think it isn’t.

Haven't seen any New Directions books entered before (well none have featured) so I suspect they aren't eligible - they tend to overlap with UK presses as well on rights for books eg Melchor, Krasznahorkai, Alhierd Bacharevič, Drndic, Hiroko Oyamada from their current books all have separate UK publishers.


message 19: by Meike (new)

Meike I think An Yu has to be removed: She is Chinese, but writes in English, so this is no translated literature.


message 20: by Paul (new)

Paul Fulcher Meike wrote: "I think An Yu has to be removed: She is Chinese, but writes in English, so this is no translated literature."

Agreed and it's been done by someone

I have removed Une sortie honorable by Éric Vuillard as the English version, An Honorable Exit, is also on the list


message 21: by Paul (new)

Paul Fulcher I removed Impress of the Seventh Surge - it isn't translated (or seemingly UK published either)


message 22: by Paul (new)

Paul Fulcher Paul wrote: "Incidentally I don't think the Aira 'The Famous Magician' from the ND Storybook collection is eligible "

I am going to remove this one - I can't see it being eligible.


message 23: by Paul (new)

Paul Fulcher Currently Goodreads only has original language editions for:

Rien ne se perd, which Europa Editions have published in translation (though it wasn't with the other Europa books in the judge's pile)

Sola, which we know has been entered in translation

So have used the originals here

I don't think it has no

Also don't see a UK publisher for Call Me Cassandra

Although I wasn't too inclined to remove unless Andy felt they should be

Call Me Cassandra is confusing as on Goodreads it seems to be Picador as well as Farrar, Straus and Giroux - ultimately same group but 2 different dates shown. But I don't see it in their UK catalogue or site.

Rosero has had UK publishers before - e.g. Good Offices was ND in US and Machelose in the UK. Similarly The Armies. So I suspect this one is to come in the UK.

And WW Norton & Co distribute for ND in the UK where they also have UK rights - but I don't think that would count as UK based.

Interestingly the overall rights to the Rosero are actually not with ND - unusually they are with Tusquets Editores in Spain. And ND have US & Canada rights but not rest of British Commonwealth.

So I will remove Rosero but I am confused on Call Me Cassandra and will leave it.


message 30: by David (new)

David Is the Can Xue eligible? It looks like the only publisher is Yale University Press.
