Warm congratulations to our friend Eva Baltasar whose novel Boulder is on the short list for the 2023 International Booker Prize!
Eva came to the Centre for Catalan Studies at Queen Mary last year where she read from her work. She also signed books and met some of her many readers.
This is the first time a Catalan novel has been on the short list for such a prize and demonstrates the international recognition now granted to contemporary Catalan literature.
We wish Eva luck for the final stage of the competition.
The winner will be announced this evening.
