The Booker Prize longlist 2022

Selected by the Bookshop


The longlist for the Booker Prize 2022 has been announced!

Gaby Wood, director of the Booker Prize Foundation, called the longlist “a set of books that are sometimes serious but never sombre, whose authors engage you with their wit, even as you absorb their dramatic, painful or provocative subject matter. It’s in this playfulness, of form or tone, that this year’s fiction is at its best.”
