The SH review got a little carried away, to my mind. But certainly worth a look.

Oops. Yes, thank you!

Would make for a pretty interesting list, too!

The five being: Rakesfall by Vajra Chandrasekera (Le Guin; first UK edition this year); Ice by Jacek Dukaj (multiple awards); Sympathy Tower Tokyo by Rie Qudan (Akutagawa); A Thousand Blues by Cheon Seon-ran (Korea SF Literature); Exorcism by Han Song (Galaxy).

It exists! I have been hoping to get hold of that...

Ah yes, that seems like it might be a good fit!

Oh correct, that's probably a good shout. Maybe The Book of Records? Maybe Sea Now. I still struggle a bit to pinpoint exactly what the award is looking for, to be honest.

I was about to try to start some speculation about who might be in the running for next year, and noticed this in their rules: "A writer may receive the Prize only once." Huh. Anyway, I'm struggling a bit; When There Are Wolves Again has no US edition or distribution that I'm aware of.
