So, I believe we can start thinking about our next year award project, right?
Just refreshing our minds of the rules we were operating under these past few years:
1. We should nominate only living authors who haven't won the Nobel Prize in Literature.
2. Our nominations should consist of three writers, ranked.
3. The shortlist will consist of three writers.
4. Members should have read at least one book by each shortlisted author before casting a final vote on who's the winner.
5. In order to be nominated at least one book by the writer should be readily available in English.
6. Writers shortlisted on the previous year cannot be nominated again.*
The nominations from the 2023 prize can be seen here.
Feel free to first of all give your opinions on what could be changed in the whole process this year, if anything. Otherwise, we can start nominating our next writers to read and discuss throughout the end of September 2024
Just remembering that any member can participate, be it only by helping nominate the candidates, or going all the way through to deciding the winner.
*this mean Can Xue, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, Ismail Kadare, and Fleur Jaeggy are eligible again, but not António Lobo Antunes or Scholastique Mukasonga (let alone Jon Fosse, Gerald Murnane or László Krasznahorkai, our previous winners).
