In the very first of two special Man Booker International Prize 2016 podcasts, we celebrate the 2016 shortlist that takes readers around the globe and to the frontier of fiction.Host Joe Haddow delves into this year's shortlisted books with two members of the judging panel - writer, journalist and the 2016 chair Boyd Tonkin and author Tahmima Anam.Joe also talks to Catherine Taylor, Deputy Director at English PEN and Walter Iuzzolino from Channel 4's Walter Presents about the rise in foreign fiction on our screens and the impact this is having on translated fiction.Then we head to Paris for an exciting event from Shakespeare & Company and hear singer- songwriter Lail Arad's song 'The Onion' which reminds Boyd of whittling down the submissions with his fellow judges.Join in the conversation about the shortlist and let us know your winner predictions @ManBookerPrize #FinestFiction
