David Szalay and Ottessa Moshfegh shortlisted for Man Booker Prize 2016!

Many congratulations to David Szalay and Ottessa Moshfegh (on behalf of The Clegg Agency) on being shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2016! Their novels ALL THAT MAN IS (Szalay) and EILEEN (Moshfegh) are published by Jonathan Cape. Chair of Judges, Amanda Foreman, said of the shortlist: ‘The Man Booker Prize subjects novels to a level of scrutiny that few books can survive. In re-reading our incredibly diverse and challenging longlist, it was both agonizing and exhilarating to be confronted by the sheer power of the writing. As a group we were excited by the willingness of so many authors to take risks with language and form. The final six reflect the centrality of the novel in modern culture – in its ability to champion the unconventional, to explore the unfamiliar, and to tackle difficult subjects.’ 

The winner will be announced on the 25th of October at London's Guildhall. Find out more here.
