Independent Foreign Fiction Prize, 21 Books

The Independent Foreign Fiction Prize was a British literary award honouring contemporary fiction translated into English and published in the United Kingdom. It was inaugurated by British newspaper 'The Independent' in 1990 and ran for five years before falling into abeyance. The prize was revived in 2001 and ran until its disbandment in 2016, after which it was merged with the International Booker Prize.

The Independent Foreign Fiction Prize was determined by a small panel of literary experts—typically 4 to 6 judges such as critics, editors, and authors—with strong literary and linguistic experience.
