Russian Booker Long List Revealed Automatic translate
MOSCOW. At a press conference in Moscow earlier this week, the jury of the Russian Booker national award announced a long list of nominees for the award. It included 24 novels out of 75 applicants. The award, which has existed since 1992, will be awarded to Russian authors for the 24th time this year.
The current jury of the Russian Booker is chaired by writer Andrei Volos. Also included are critic Valery Pustovaya, poet Alexei Mashevsky, prose writer Denis Gutsko and linguist Maxim Krongauz. So, by joint efforts to participate in the second stage of the award, they selected 24 novels, including “Flooding Zone” by Roman Senchin, “The Mind Wolf” by Alexei Varlamov, “Bride and Groom” by Alisa Ganieva, “Cold” by Andrei Gelasimov, “Russian Canary” by Dina Rubina, The Life of a Soviet Girl by Tatyana Moskvina, Curly Braces by Sergei Nosov and other works.
Commenting on the results of the nomination, Andrei Volos noted that one of the most important impressions was that "reading 75 novels is very difficult." The jury, according to the chairman, had to face the widest range of different literary traditions, techniques and beliefs. “Texts representing large areas of modern literature — science fiction and realism, fiction and confessional prose — will compete for shortlisting,” the writer said.
A short list of nominees for the Russian Booker will be announced on October 9, 2015, and the main winner of this year’s award will be announced on December 3. In different years, the Russian Booker was awarded to such famous writers as Bulat Okudzhava, Mikhail Elizarov, Alexander Ilichevsky, Vladimir Makanin, Lyudmila Ulitskaya, Vasily Aksyonov and others. The winner of the last season of the award was Vladimir Sharov with his book "Return to Egypt."
