The 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.
The shortlist of six titles is announced on 16 September 2024 and then the winner on 12 November 2024.
