What a week! On Friday we hosted our special International Booker Prize 10th anniversary event at the @Southbank Centre. @Dua Lipa opened the evening with a speech on the power of translated fiction. Translators Deepa Bhasthi (2025 winner) and Daniel Hahn (a three-time nominee and 2017 judge) discussed the art of translation. Author David Diop (2021 winner) and historian Olivette Otele (2021 judge) spoke about At Night All Blood is Black and the nuances of thinking and writing in different languages. Publisher of Fitzcarraldo Editions Jacques Testard and agent Laurence Laluyaux were in conversation with our chief exec Gaby Wood on how they helped bring the work of Han Kang and Olga Tokarczuk to the UK. And, we closed with a reading from the first winner of the International Booker Prize in its current form, The Vegetarian, by @Simone Ashley. Thank you to all those in the audience, and stay tuned as we’ll soon be sharing video from the night for all those who couldn’t join us in person...
