David Jonsson reads from 'Not a River' | The Booker Prize

Watch David Jonsson read from International Booker Prize 2024-shortlisted 'Not a River', written by Selva Almada and translated by Annie McDermott.
The story so far: Three men go out fishing, returning to a favourite spot on the river despite their memories of a terrible accident there years earlier. As a long, sultry day passes, they drink and cook and talk and dance, and try to overcome the ghosts of their past. But they are outsiders, and this intimate, peculiar moment also puts them at odds with the inhabitants of this watery universe, both human and otherwise.
