The longlist for this year's Man Booker Prize has been announced. This
year’s list of 13 books was selected by a panel of five judges chaired
by Michael Wood, who said: “The range of different performances and
forms of these novels is amazing. All of them do something exciting with
the language they have chosen to use.” The judges considered 156 books
for this year’s prize and, first awarded in 1969, it is the second year
in which it has been open to any writer, writing originally in English
and published in the UK, irrespective of nationality.
The Man Booker Prize for Fiction 2015 is chaired by Michael Wood. The judges are: Ellah Allfrey, John Burnside, Sam Leith and Frances Osborne.
