The winner of this year’s Booker Prize will be announced on Monday (10 November 2025). Have you read any of the shortlisted books? Do you have a prediction of what will/should win? I’d love to hear it.
(Aside: I always enjoy reading the review roundup of the shortlist published by The Conversation. Here it is).
David Szalay has won the Booker Prize 2025 for his sixth work of fiction, ‘Flesh’. This prize is always highly contentious, but nevertheless, ‘Flesh’ is now on my to-read list (along with the rest of the shortlist).
