The RM260,000 Booker Prize winner will be chosen tomorrow (Oct 14) from among these six novels. It has been called an "experimental" shortlist this year – it is, for instance, the first time in decades that there are no works by white male authors.
Instead there are writers born in Britain, Canada, India, Nigeria, Turkey and the US. The six titles are also topical, addressing everything from The Donald and transgender issues to the immigrant experience.
