Og vinnaren av den internasjonale Booker-prisen 2025 er Banu Mushtaq med novellesamlinga Heart Lamp. I internasjonal Booker-samanheng er det like viktig å hylle omsetjaren, i dette tilfellet Deepa Bhasthi.
Gratulera til begge!
Max Porter, Chair of the International Booker Prize 2025 judges, said:
‘Heart Lamp is something genuinely new for English readers. A radical translation which ruffles language, to create new textures in a plurality of Englishes. It challenges and expands our understanding of translation.
‘These beautiful, busy, life-affirming stories rise from Kannada, interspersed with the extraordinary socio-political richness of other languages and dialects. It speaks of women’s lives, reproductive rights, faith, caste, power and oppression.
‘This was the book the judges really loved, right from our first reading. It’s been a joy to listen to the evolving appreciation of these stories from the different perspectives of the jury. We are thrilled to share this timely and exciting winner of the International Booker Prize 2025 with readers around the world.’
