No son unos premios con muchas sorpresas. Me llaman mucho las novelas de Vandermeer y Ada Palmer. La de 'Borne' la he tenido varias veces en la mano, y si no la he comprado ha sido sólo porque 'Aniquiliación' no me gustó mucho en su momento.
ResponderEliminarÚltimamente con lo que más estoy disfrutando es con las novelas de terror, y es una pena que la única traducida hasta el momento sea la de Sarah Pinborough ('Detrás de sus ojos').
Y me ha sorprendido ver a Karin Tidbeck en la categoría de debut, aunque claro, novelas no tenía. Tampoco he oído hablar demasiado bien de 'Amatka'.
Hay tanto título potente y jugoso entre algunos que veremos en castellano y otros que de momento no, que se me antojan unas nominaciones complicadas de elección :)
