A Literary Map of the World

 

The Booker Prize 2025 longlist offers more than a collection of books: it is a map of the global imagination. With authors writing from Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas, the list captures a moment when literature is both deeply rooted in local realities and connected to shared human experiences.
It is this fusion — the local and the universal — that makes the Booker longlist one of the most awaited announcements in the literary calendar.
