Canadian novelists Anne Michaels and Claire Messud are among the 13 authors named to the longlist for the 2024 Booker Prize.

The longlist for the £50,000 prize (worth about $88,000 Canadian) was announced on July 30.

Anne Michaels is longlisted for her novel Held, published by McClelland & Stewart in Canada and by Bloomsbury Publishing in the U.K. Quill & Quire‘s reviewer Candace Fertile called it an “exquisite novel,” and wrote that “though the story ranges from the early 1900s into the 21st century, the novel nevertheless manages to capture completely the lives of characters with a remarkable economy of words.”

Claire Messud, who lives in Massachussetts, is shortlisted for This Strange Eventful History, published in North America by W.W. Norton and in the U.K. by Fleet, a Hachette U.K. imprint.

In addition to the two Canadian authors, the longlist includes writers from Holland, Australia, Ireland, the U.K., and the  U.S., including Sarah Perry, Tommy Orange, Richard Power, Rachel Kushner and Percival Everett. Six of the authors have been previously nominated for the prize.

In 2023, Canadian Sarah Bernstein was shortlisted for the Booker Prize for her novel Study for Obedience.

The Booker will announce its shortlist of six books on Sept. 16, and the winner will be announced on Nov. 12.
