The 2024 longlist for the Booker Prize – the world’s most influential prize for a single work of fiction – is announced today, Tuesday, July 30, 2024.
The longlist of 13 books – the ‘Booker Dozen’ – has been chosen by the 2024 judging panel. The panel is chaired by artist and author Edmund de Waal, who is joined by award-winning novelist Sara Collins; Fiction Editor of the Guardian, Justine Jordan; world-renowned writer and professor Yiyun Li; and musician, composer and producer Nitin Sawhney.
It 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.
