Brett Gundlock/National PostAuthor Eleanor Catton poses is nominated for this year's Man Booker Prize.
Three Canadian authors are on the longlist for the Man Booker Prize, arguably the world’s most prestigious literary award for English-language novels.
Eleanor Catton is nominated for her sophomore novel, The Luminaries, which will be published by McClelland & Stewart in September. Her first novel, The Rehearsal, received rave reviews when it was published in 2008 (it was only published in Canada in 2010). The 28-year-old Catton was born in London, Ontario, but raised in New Zealand.
Alison MacLeod has been nominated Unexploded, her third novel. Raised in Canada, she has lived in Britain since the late ’80s. Her previous novels are The Changeling and The Wave Theory of Angels, as well as a short story collection, Fifteen Modern Tales of Attraction.
Ruth Ozeki has been nominated for her third novel A Tale For The Time Being, which was published earlier this year. Ozeki, 57, who was born in Connecticut, splits her time between the United States and British Columbia. Her previous two books are My Year of Meats and All Over Creation.
