The Booker Prize Shortlist 2024

The Booker Prize shortlist is finally here, and we’re thrilled to see which authors have been recognized for their incredible works of fiction. Edmund de Waal, Chair of the Booker Prize 2024 judges says, “This is timely and timeless fiction, in which there is much at stake. Here are books that unfold with quietness and stealth, as well as books that are incendiary . . . they are works of fiction that inhabit ideas by making us care deeply about people and their predicaments, their singularity in a world that can be indifferent or hostile.” Take a look through this year’s shortlist and stack up your TBR.
