Question:
Which of the following book has won the International Booker Prize in 2022?
Options:
Tomb of Sand
The Discomfort of Evening
At Night All Blood is Black
The Books of Jacob
Correct Answer:
Tomb of Sand
Explanation:
Indian writer Geetanjali Shree and American translator Daisy Rockwell won the International Booker Prize for “Tomb of Sand,”. Originally written in Hindi, it’s the first book in any Indian language to win the high-profile award, which recognizes fiction from around the world that has been translated into English. The International Booker Prize is awarded every year to a translated work of fiction published in the U.K. or Ireland. It is run alongside the Booker Prize for English-language fiction. The prize was set up to boost the profile of fiction in other languages, which accounts for only a small share of books published in Britain and to salute the often unacknowledged work of literary translators.
