The International Booker Prize 2023 Longlist
Boasting former winners including Nobel Prize-scooping Olga Tokarczuk and the seminal Nigerian author Chinua Achebe, the International Booker Prize is awarded to the year’s finest book in English translation. 2023’s fourteen-strong longlist ranges from a triumphant slice of Ukrainian magic realism to a slow-burning French thriller, and from searing meditations on motherhood to breathtaking tales of star-crossed love.
The shortlist will be announced on Tuesday 18 April with the winner being crowned on Tuesday 23 May.
