Today the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize 2013 shortlist was announced last week and so now the Shadow Jury coordinated by Stu from Winston’s Dad will be hard at work selecting a winner. The other members of the team are Tony from Tony’s Reading List, Gary from The Parrish Lantern, and Mark from Eleutherophobia. Between us, we reviewed all the books on the longlist, while this page you are reading has links to all the reviews of the shortlist by the Shadow Prize Jury.
(Update: 27 March 2013: I have decided to add in some extra reviews, from blogging friends who comprise the Giller Prize Shadow Jury. So for some titles, you may find reviews from Kim at Reading Matters, Trevor at The Mookse and the Gripes, or Kevin from Kevin from Canada.)

I had noticed (the shortlists, not the guests!) – they always come in bunches, don’t they…
