The winner of the Man Booker International Prize is announced in June 2017. Significantly, the $64,000 prize money is divided equally between the author and the translator. In a series of interviews leading up to the announcement, 蜜芽传媒 Weekend is speaking to the authors and translators of all six shortlisted books.

In this interview Julian Worricker talks to the Israeli author Amos Oz, who wrote Judas, and the English translator of the novel, Nicholas de Lange.

The interview begins with an extract from the book in which the figure of Judas reacts to the death of Jesus.
