Two Harvill Secker titles have made it on to this year's Man Booker International Prize longlist, which was announced today (March 12), following on from fellow Vintage author David Grossman and translator Jessica Cohen's 2017 win for A Horse Walks Into a Bar.
Gabriela Ybarra's The Dinner Guest, translated from Spanish by Natasha Wimmer and Laurent Binet's The 7th Function of Language, translated from French by Sam Taylor are included on the 13-strong list, which also includes author Han Kang and translator Deborah Smith, winners of 2016's 'evolved' prize, with Deborah Smith a judge of last year's Harvill Secker Young Translator's Prize.
