Man Booker Prize longlist 2015

The longlist for this year's Man Booker Prize has been announced.

All of them do something exciting with the language they have chosen to use.” The judges considered 156 books for this year’s prize and, first awarded in 1969, it is the second year in which it has been open to any writer, writing originally in English and published in the UK, irrespective of nationality.
