As the world marks Pride Month, we present our pick of Booker-nominated LGBTQ+ novels; and Anton Hur writes how authors, translators and fans of translated fiction are breaking down barriers
There are several LGBTQ+ books I am HOPING will make this year's longlist: The New Life, The House of Doors, Juno Loves Legs, In Memoriam, Biography of X, The Late Americans, Corey Fah Does Social Mobility - just to name a few!
A new recent favourite for me is The Membranes by Ti Cha-wei, translated by Ari Larissa Heinrich which sparked an interest in queer Taiwanese literature and film.
