The 2024 Booker Prize

The 2024 longlist for the Booker Prize, the world’s most influential prize for a single work of fiction, has been announced. The longlist of 13 books --- the "Booker Dozen" --- features blackly comic page-turners, multigenerational epics, meditations on the pain of exile --- plus a crime caper, a spy thriller, an unflinching account of girls’ boxing and a reimagining of a 19th-century classic.

The shortlist of six books will be announced on Monday, September 16th, followed by the announcement of the winner on Tuesday, November 12th.
