Staff Writer, with CNA</p>
<p><em>The Stolen Bicycle</em> (單車失竊記), a novel written by Taiwanese author Wu Ming-yi (吳明益) and translated into English by Darryl Sterk, has been selected to contend for the prestigious Man Booker International Prize.</p>
<p>The novel is about a writer who embarks on a quest in search of his missing father’s stolen bicycle.</p>
<p>It was included on a list of 13 novels revealed on Monday by the UK-based Booker Prize Foundation, the organizer of the prize, which rewards the finest work in translated fiction from around the world that is published in the UK and available in English.</p>
<p>This is the first time a work by a Taiwanese writer has been included on the list.</p>
<p>“I’m honored to be listed among them, and the nationality [was listed] as ‘Taiwan,’” Wu said in a Facebook post, expressing his appreciation to the book’s translator, publisher and readers.</p>
<p>The judges considered 108 books this year, the foundation said.</p>
<p>Also included on the list are <em>The 7th Function of Language</em> by Laurent Binet (France), <em>The Impostor</em> by Javier Cercas (Spain), <em>Vernon Subutex 1</em> by Virginie Despentes (France), <em>Go, Went, Gone</em> by Jenny Erpenbeck (Germany), <em>The White Book</em> by Han Kang (South Korea), and <em>Die, My Love</em> by Ariana Harwicz (Argentina).</p>
<p>The other six are <em>The World Goes On</em> by Laszlo Krasznahorkai (Hungary), <em>Like a Fading Shadow</em> by Antonio Munoz Molina (Spain), <em>The Flying Mountain</em> by Christoph Ransmayr (Austria), <em>Frankenstein</em> <em>in Baghdad</em> by Ahmed Saadawi (Iraq), <em>Flights</em> by Olga Tokarczuk (Poland) and <em>The Dinner Guest</em> by Gabriela Ybarra (Spain).</p>
<p>A shortlist of six books is to be announced on April 12 and the winner of the prize is to be announced on May 22, the foundation said.</p>
