Goldsmiths Prize 2024 shortlist announced

In the UK, the shortlist for the 2024 Goldsmiths Prize, worth £10,000 (A$19,268), has been announced.

The shortlisted novels are:

  • All My Precious Madness (Mark Bowles, Galley Beggar Press)
  • Tell (Jonathan Buckley, Fitzcarraldo)
  • Parade (Rachel Cusk, Faber)
  • Choice (Neel Mukherjee, Atlantic)
  • Spent Light (Lara Pawson, CB Editions)
  • Portraits at the Palace of Creativity and Wrecking (Han Smith, JM Originals).

Established in 2013 by Goldsmiths University of London, the prize rewards fiction that ‘breaks the mould or extends the possibilities of the novel form’ and ‘embodies the spirit of invention that characterises the genre at its best’.

Last year, Benjamin Myers won the prize for Cuddy (Bloomsbury).

The winner of the 2024 award will be announced on 6 November. More information is available on the prize website.
