The prize, which has been going since 1969, was last year won jointly by Margaret Atwood and Bernardine Evaristo.'Complex, nuanced, emotionally charged'
Margaret Busby, chair of the 2020 judges, said that each of the titles on this year's list was"deserving of wide readership". "Included are novels carried by the sweep of history with memorable characters brought to life and given visibility, novels that represent a moment of cultural change, or the pressures an individual faces in pre- and post-dystopian society," she said in a statement."Some of the books focus on interpersonal relationships that are complex, nuanced, emotionally charged. There are voices from minorities often unheard, stories that are fresh, bold and absorbing," she added.
"The best fiction enables the reader to relate to other people's lives; sharing experiences that we could not ourselves have imagined is as powerful as being able to identify with characters." The shortlist of six books will be announced on 15 September, with the £50,000-prize winning author being revealed in November.Tsitsi Dangarembga - This Mournable BodyColum McCann - ApeirogonAnne Tyler - Redhead by The Side of The RoadC Pam Zhang - How Much of These Hills is Gold

Pay tribute to Paulette Wilson by ending the UK's cruel immigration policies | Kenan MalikOne of the leading campaigners for the Windrush victims deserves a fitting memorial The main cruelty of the UKs immigration policies has been the destruction of white working class communities in the inner cities. UK still has one of the most liberal immigration policies in the world. Go call out the immigration policies of China, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan etc Whites are forced by law and encouraged by propaganda to integrate with 3rd worlders so as to 'assimilate' i.e. intermarry and be blended out of existence or reduced to a small minority.
