Italish Magazine Irlandesi Dentro
Il premio The International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award è uno dei premi letterari più importanti al mondo. La sua caratteristica più interessante è quella di coinvolgere nelle preselezioni bibilioteche di tutto il mondo e scrittori di qualsiasi paese (anche se, per essere ‘papabile’, un libro deve essere comunque tradotto in Inglese).
Il premio è organizzato dal Dublin City Council in collaborazione con IMPAC, azienda che si occupa di management productivity.
In questo momento il premio è nella fase della longlist, ovvero una lista di centosessantadue libri promossi dalle biblioteche affiliate, che sono oltre centocinquanta e tra le quali troviamo la Biblioteca del Mulino di Bologna, la Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale Di Firenze, la Biblioteca Civica Centrale di Napoli e la Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Roma.
Le librerie irlandesi sono la Cork City Library, le Dublin City Public Libraries, la Galway County Library, la Limerick City Library e la Waterford County Library.
Gli autori irlandesi facenti parte della longlist sono quattro:
Colm Tóibín, già vincitore dello stesso premio nel 2006, con The Master, e adesso in corsa con il già premiato (Costa Novel 2009) Brooklyn;
Colum McCann, con Let the Great World Spin (National Book Award 2009);
William Trevor, lo scrittore ‘di racconti per professione e di romanzi nel tempo libero’ con Love and Summer;
Peter Murphy con John the Revelator, romanzo d’esordio.
Nella longlist sono presenti anche tre autori italiani: Andrea Camilleri con La Luna di Carta, Elena Ferrante con La Figlia Oscura, Salvatore Niffoi con La Leggenda di Redenta Tiria.
Qua sotto la longlist al completo e i link più utili.
