The 2024 Booker Prize shortlist has been announced!
The 2024 Booker Prize shortlist features six diverse novels, with five of the nominees being women—marking the highest number of female authors in the award’s 55-year history. This selection spans across five countries, showcasing both established voices and exciting newcomers.
The panel, chaired by artist and author Edmund de Waal, highlighted the “vastness of human experience” explored in these novels, ranging from personal histories to broader societal conflicts. This year’s shortlist has been noted for its daring experimentation and the range of perspectives it brings to contemporary fiction.
