    Booker Shortlist 2025


    The Booker Prize 2025 shortlist has now been announced – a selection of 6 superb works of long-form fiction, chosen from over 150 titles written in English and published in the UK and/or Ireland between 1 October 2024 and 30 September 2025. 
     
    As Roddy Doyle, Chair of the Booker Prize 2025 judges, says: ‘The six [shortlisted books] have two big things in common. Their authors are in total command of their own store of English, their own rhythm, their own expertise; they have each crafted a novel that no one else could have written. And all of the books, in six different and very fresh ways, find their stories in the examination of the individual trying to live with – to love, to seek attention from, to cope with, to understand, to keep at bay, to tolerate, to escape from – other people. In other words, they are all brilliantly written and they are all brilliantly human.’ 
     
    Doyle, along with fellow judges Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀, Sarah Jessica Parker, Chris Power and Kiley Reid, selected this year’s shortlist from 153 works of long-form fiction, written in English and published in the UK and/or Ireland between 1 October 2024 and 30 September 2025. The winning book will be announced on Monday, 10 November at a ceremony in London, and the winning author will receive £50,000.
    Meet this year’s ‘Booker Half Dozen’ – 6 brilliant books that encapsulate a vast range of global experiences.
     
    The shortlisted authors – three men and three women, for the first time since 2022 – are Indian (Kiran Desai), British (Andrew Miller), Hungarian-British (David Szalay) and American (Susan Choi, Katie Kitamura and Ben Markovits). Should Kiran Desai win, India would complete an unprecedented clean sweep of 2025’s Booker Prizes, after author Banu Mushtaq and translator Deepa Bhasthi won the International Booker Prize for their short-story collection Heart Lamp earlier this year.
