Congratulations to @NadifaMohamed1, whose book ‘The Fortune Men’ has been longlisted for the #2021BookerPrize The judges said: ‘Racial diversity is seldom if ever a plain binary opposition. The Fortune Men is a wonderful evocation of a particularly rich diversity, the many-faceted life of dockland Cardiff in the 1950s. Each cultural voice is drawn out richly and sympathetically. But the story is rightly dominated by a single, shocking instance of legal violence against an individual. A reminder that the scars of the murderous effects of routine and unquestioned racism are not quickly healed, and shouldn't be.’ #FinestFiction @VikingBooksUK @PenguinBooks
