As deserved as it is, it was sad to find out that Eleanor Wachtel, the best and most knowledgeable interviewer of writers out there was retiring after thirty-three years as host of the CBC's Writers & Co. as the final program aired in June. But it's wonderful to learn that she will be chair of next year's judging panel for the International Booker Prize, a great choice.

Thrilled to hear Georgi Gospodinov's Time Shelter won the International Booker Prize. His earlier novel, Physics of Sorrow, also translated by Angela Rodel, was one of my favorite books of 2021.
