Ok, so I believe we can start nominating!
First of all, please read the instructions carefully!
Here is the
Google forms application to do that.
You will see two simple requests. One is to write your username here on the Forum (for instance, in my case, Bartleby), just for the sake of control.
Then you will nominate your three writers in preference order, something like this:
1) Javier Marías, 2) Hilary Mantel, 3) Milan Kundera
This is just an example, since they've already passed away, so as to not influence on the decision.
Remember they must be alive, and not having won the Nobel prize.
Also, since António Lobo Antunes and Scholastique Mukasonga were shortlisted last year, they are ineligible for this year; Krasznahorkai, Murnane, and Fosse too, for they've already won our prize.
Can Xue, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, Ismail Kadare, and Fleur Jaeggy are eligible again, together with any other writer fitting the aforementioned criteria.
Also, remember to select someone who has at least one book readily available in English, so members can read it!
You can nominate even if you don't think you will be able to participate, so feel free to bring some names to the table!
I've voted already, so as not to get influenced by your picks
I believe one week is enough for everyone to submit their choices. Any problems or doubts, do let us know! see you soon with the results
