Publishers Lunch
The Booker Prize
announced their shortlist, with the winner to be named October 13. Two
Americans -- Paul Beatty for his NBCC-winning novel and Ottessa Moshfegh for
her PEN/Hemingway debut winner -- are in contention in a field that includes no
previous Booker winners. (Deborah Levy was shortlisted in 2012 for Swimming Home.) Since
the longlist, Norton has picked up US rights to Madeleine Thien's novel, and
will publish on October 11. Graeme Macrae Burnet will continue to draw
attention after garnering a nomination for a crime thriller, and Skyhorse has
bumped up the US release of his book to October 4:
Paul Beatty, The
Sellout (FSG/Oneworld)
