Independent Foreign Fiction Prize
The Independent Foreign Fiction Prize was a literary prize established by the British daily newspaper The Independent for a non-English language novel and its English translation.
The head of the independent literature department headed a jury made up of well-known writers and critics, who compiled an annual longlist and, finally, a shortlist of six candidates before the winner was chosen in May. The prize was first awarded in 1990, but no longer between 1996 and 2001. The prize was revived in 2002 with financial help from the Arts Council and has since been administered by the Booktrust charity . In 2016, the prize , which was last endowed with £ 10,000, was incorporated into the newly restructured Man Booker International Prize .
