The shortlisted authors were announced by Chair of judges, Michael Wood, who said: “The writers on the shortlist present an extraordinary range of approaches to fiction. They come from very different cultures and are themselves at very different stages of their careers.” Founded in 1969, The Man Booker Prize aims to promote the finest in fiction by rewarding the best novel of the year written in English and published in the United Kingdom. The 2015 winner will be announced on Tuesday October 13th in London’s Guildhall at a black-tie dinner that brings together the shortlisted authors and well-known figures from the literary world.
