The Man From Saigon

Brodeck Longlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize 2010

Brodeck Longlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize 2010

Philippe Claudel’s Brodeck, translated from the French by John Cullen, is among the 15 contenders longlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize 2010. Arts Council England awards the prize annually to the best work of contemporary fiction in translation. The novel, which Nan A. Talese published in June, received a starred review in Publishers Weekly and was glowingly reviewed in The New York Times Book Review. While only a handful of Claudel’s nine novels have been translated in English, American readers might be familiar with the 2008 film he wrote and directed I’ve Loved You So Long, a New York Times Critics’ Pick, which starred Kristin Scott Thomas.

Bank Bailout Novel

Bank Bailout Novel

The Wall Street Journal wrote last week, “Union Atlantic is the first serious fictional portrait of the bailout era — in which the unbridled risk-taking of our banking institutions bumped up against powerful government officials trying to keep the system afloat. Decades from now, this fine novel will help readers understand the period we’ve just been through.” The New York Times Book Review agreed. “The eerie overlap of Haslett’s narrative with current events in the American economy,” wrote Liesl Schillinger, “gives Union Atlantic unusual impact.”
