Congratulations to Alina Bronsky! Her most recent novel, The Hottest Dishes of the Tartar Cuisine, has been long-listed for the 2010 German Book Award, Germany's equivalent of the Booker Prize. Europa will publish the English translation in spring 2011. In the meantime, an excerpt of the novel (in German) can be read here.

Bronsky's previous novel Broken Glass Park was published by Europa earlier this year to much critical acclaim. Publishers Weekly called it "a riveting debut," "a stark moving tale of resiliency and survival," and The Daily Beast said "Bronsky adds an exciting new voice to the literary world."

Zulu was recently named one of the "Ten Best African Crime Novels" by Michael Stanley for the Guardian newspaper. Advance reviews raved: "A horrifying, eye-opening thriller [that] masterfully depicts the abject poverty of Cape Town's slums and the desperation of the townships' residents" (Kirkus) and described the novel as "hard-hitting...a welcome addition to the growing ranks of crime books set in South Africa" (Publishers Weekly).
