The Man Booked Prize is a literary prize awarded each year to the author of the best, original, full-length novel, written in English language. The author has to be a citizen of the Commonwealth of Nations, the Republic of Ireland, or Zimbabwe.
Starting 2014, the award would consider other authors, provided that the original language of the book is English, and it is published in the UK.
The 2013 Shortlist:
- We Need New Names by NoViolet Bulawayo (Chatto & Windus)
- The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton (Granta)
- Harvest by Jim Crace (Picador)
- The Lowland by Jhumpa Lahiri (Bloomsbury)
- A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki (Canongate)
- The Testament of Mary by Colm Toibin (Penguin)
The 2013 winner would be announced on 15 October, 2013.
Who do you think will walk away with the award and adulation this year?
