Tash Aw among big names in Booker Prize longlist Posted: 23 Jul 2013 05:31 PM PDT July 24, 2013 A 13-strong longlist for the Man Booker Prize 2013 has been announced, mixing established authors such as Jim Crace and Colm Tóibín with some newer faces such as Malaysia's Tash Aw. Should Eleanor Catton, Eve Harris or Donal Ryan make it through to the Sept 10 shortlist and be declared winner come Oct 15, it would be the first time that a debutant has done so since 2008's Aravind Adiga with "The White Tiger." Both Crace and Tóibín have been previously nominated, Tóibín twice, and Crace recently underlined his intention to retire from writing, which would make "Harvest" his last novel. He had won the Whitbread Book Award -- now the Costa Book Award -- with "Quarantine" in 1997. Hilary Mantel's "Bring Up The Bodies" was the previous winner in 2012. It also won out at the Costa Book Awards and Specsavers National Book Awards. The Man Booker Prize offers a £50,000 (RM250,000) sum to its winner, and selects from authors who are citizens of the UK, Republic of Ireland, or Commonwealth countries. The Man Booker Prize 2013 longlist "Five Star Billionaire" by Tash Aw "We Need New Names" by NoViolet Bulawayo "The Luminaries" by Eleanor Catton "Harvest" by Jim Crace "The Marrying of Chani Kaufman" by Eve Harris "The Kills" by Richard House "The Lowland" by Jhumpa Lahiri "Unexploded" by Alison MacLeod "TransAtlantic" by Colum McCann "Almost English" by Charlotte Mendelson "A Tale for the Time Being" by Ruth Ozeki "The Spinning Heart" by Donal Ryan "The Testament of Mary" by Colm Tóibín. – AFP/Relaxnews, July 24, 2013.
