Although Irish authors have won in the past, the International Dublin Literary Award doesn't simply pay lip service to the international dimension of the prize, and this year readers will be brought on a journey around the world, to countries including Canada, France, India, Iran and Poland as well as Ireland, the UK and the US.
There are three novels in translation on this year’s list, including Disoriental, by Negar Djavadi, the lyrical and engaging story of an Iranian woman’s family history.
