The 2024 Booker Prize longlist

The 2024 Booker Prize longlist of 13 books – the ‘Booker Dozen’ – has been chosen by the 2024 judging panel. 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.
