In this week's podcast, Chad and Tom read through all thirty-five titles on the two Best Translated Book Award longlists making comments about the books they've read and the ones that interest them. Then Chad tries his hand at guessing which ten fiction titles will make the shortlist. (Spoiler: He ends up picking fifteen either because he can't count, or because this is a really difficult group to pare down.)
Next week they'll be discussion the Reading the World Book Club titles for March: The Vegetarian by Han Kang and Diorama by Rocío Cerón. (And with a little luck, they'll even have a special guest.) If you have any comments or questions about those titles, post them at the RTWBC Facebook page, or send them to threepercentpodcast@gmail.com or to chad.post@rochester.edu.
This week's music is "Don't Make Me Wait" by Emma Pollock.
