The Siege by Ismail Kadare, translated by David Bellos (Canongate $15) The winner of the Man Booker International Prize and a Nobel contender. Kadare is Albania's most distinguished novelist. Originally published in 1970, this novel tells the story of a thwarted Ottoman siege of an Albanian fortress in the 15th century.
