Eleanor Catton is one of the sixteen young writers who have been selected for the longlist for the £30,000 University of Wales Dylan Thomas Prize for her novel THE REHEARSAL.
Prof Peter Stead, the prize founder, said: “The calibre of these sixteen works is outstanding … this unique prize was established to celebrate young, talented writers worldwide and these works aptly showcase the excellence of creative writing that exists across the entire English-speaking world.”
The winner will be announced in September.
