Fun facts for this year: It includes the youngest and oldest authors ever to be nominated, as well as the shortest book, three debuts and two new publishers receiving their first ever nominations.
Chair of the judges Neil MacGregor said ‘The list offers story, fable and parable, fantasy, mystery, meditation and thriller.'
The 2022 long list (best 13 books) was announced July 26, 2022.
The 2022 shortlist (best 6 books) was announced September 6, 2022. noted below.
One book that made the shortlist is not yet even a glimmer in the U. S.: "Treacle Walker" written by Alan Garner.
And so much more information, including all about previous years' prizes is here.
