Following on the announcement of the Poetry Longlist<\/a> earlier today, below you’ll find the Fiction Longlist, which I know a lot of you have been waiting for. <\/p>\n

As with the Poetry list, these twenty-five titles will be narrowed down to a select group of finalists on Tuesday, May 5th, and the winner will be announced at a panel during BEA<\/span> on Wednesday, May 27th. As always, thanks to Amazon.com’s grant, the winning author and translator will each receive a $5,000 cash prize. <\/p>\n

Here are the books:<\/a>.<\/p>\n
