The International Booker Prize is a high profile prize awarded annually for a single book translated into English and published in the UK or Ireland. To be shortlisted is considered prestigious, and the shortlisted books get a lot of media coverage. The co-translation by Iona Macintyre and myself of 'The Adventures of China Iron' (2019) by Gabriela Cabezón Cámara was shortlisted with 5 other books for the prize in 2020.
