The Man Booker 2015 Longlist Is Here
One of the literary world's biggest prizes has announced its longlist, and we have the full rundown of books here for you. 156 books were considered for this year's Man Booker, which the judges have whittled down to 13 longlisted titles. The shortlist will be announced in September, with the winner revealed on October 13.
Last year's winner - Richard Flanagan, for his book The Narrow Road To The Deep North - was the fourth Australian author to take home the award. No Australians were nominated this year, although one New Zealander (Anna Smaill) has been longlisted. Has your favourite book of the year made the cut?
