The shortlist was selected from 162 submitted books published in the UK or Ireland between October 1, 2019 and September 30, 2020. Gaby Wood of the Booker Prize Foundation added: “Every year, judging the Booker Prize is an act of discovery. The 2020 winner will be announced on November 17 in an event broadcast from London’s Roundhouse in collaboration with BBC Arts. The ceremony has been re-imagined, transposing the traditional dinner at the Guildhall to a globally accessible ceremony without walls.
