2017 Man Booker Prize chair judge, Baroness Lola Young recommends Andrea Levy’s Long Song and George Saunders’ Lincoln in the Bardo. Via their content, style, theme, plot, structure and unexpected humour, these books reboot the apparently familiar and make it strange. The Other is now central and narrates their view of and role in critical historical moments. Engrossing. Do you have #TimeForTheBooker now?
