As this challenging year comes to a close, we wanted to take a look back at some of our International Booker and Booker Prize highlights…⠀
⠀
2020 was the year we went fully digital for our shortlist announcements and celebrations, with virtual watch parties, actor readings and author events, and of course our new-look winner ceremonies, which we hope you enjoyed tuning into.⠀
⠀
We were thrilled to announce our two winners: The Discomfort of Evening by
@MariekeLucasRijneveld and translated by Michele Hutchison; and Shuggie Bain by
@douglas_stuart. Head over to The Booker Prizes YouTube channel to catch up on all the activity. ⠀
⠀
We also started
#TimeForTheBooker to spread the joy of reading fiction, where former winners, judges, members of our team and our lovely followers, got involved to share their favourite Booker Prize reads.
⠀
Our 2021 judges are already underway with reading submissions and we can’t wait to reveal their choices next year.⠀

Which books will you be reading over...
