The majority of the books nominated for this year’s International Booker Prize, the prestigious award for fiction translated into English, are under 200 pages long.
Only one is over 300 pages: Mircea Cartarescu’s 627-page Solenoid, translated by Sean Cotter. It is also one of the most high-profile novels on the list.
