We have read the longlist, voted on our shortlist, crunched the numbers, and arrived at our shadow panel winner for this year’s International Booker. Our winner is:
On the Calculation of Volume I by Solvej Balle, tr. Barbara J. Haveland (Faber)
We have some more detail on the results in Frances’s post over on the group Substack. For me, this was my favourite book of the longlist (even though I haven’t reviewed it yet…), so I’m happy with that result.
Will the official judges make the same choice? We’ll find out tomorrow.

I’ve heard so many good things about this book. I have added it to my Wishlist.
