Welcome to Today in Books, our daily round-up of literary headlines at the intersection of politics, culture, media, and more.<\/em><\/p>\n

The 2025 International Booker Prizes Nominations Announced<\/h2>\n

This is the most prestigious prize for literature translated into English<\/a>, and an out-and-out goldmine for book lovers like me who spend most of their time traipsing Anglophonia. Of these, I have only heard of Solenoid. I like to pick a few of these to try (or at least pick up and look at and think about trying). Early contenders for me: Reservoir Bitches, Under the Eye of the Big Bird, and There\u2019s a Monster Behind the Door. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Wonder Boys<\/em> at 30<\/h2>\n

A very warm appreciation of both the movie and film of Michael Chabon\u2019s Wonder Boys<\/em><\/a>, from a literary citizen of Pittsburgh itself. I agree with Simon that both incarnations of Wonder Boys<\/a> are underappreciated and have a lot to offer readers and writers alike. This is pre-Iron Man Downey along with a \u201cwhat is this guy\u2019s ceiling?!\u201d performance from Tobey Maguire. McDormand is tough and welcoming all at once, more than match (much more some might say) for Michael Douglas\u2019 shambling, erudite, and lost Grady Tripp. I fee a re-watch in the offing. <\/p>\n

Apply for The National Book Foundation Teacher Fellowship<\/h2>\n

I like to highlight opportunities that might be a little less well-known. And this one was unknown to me before this morning<\/a>. <\/p>\n
