Canadian authors Maria Reva and David Szalay are among the 13 authors longlisted for the 2025 Booker Prize in the U.K.

The longlist for the £50,000 prize (worth about $91,000 Canadian) was announced on July 29.

B.C.-based Reva has been nominated for her debut novel Endling (published by Knopf Canada in Canada) that Jean Marc Ah Sen in a Quill & Quire review called “a trenchant eco-thriller with experimental touches, [that] examines the ways regional conflicts render peacetime activities null and void, and how attempts to understand war in literature tend to fail in properly capturing the reality.”

Montreal-born Szalay, now based in Vienna, is nominated for Flesh (published by McClelland & Stewart in Canada). Steven Beattie, reviewing the novel in Q&Q, wrote that Flesh “has a highly European feel to it, not just in its setting or its willingness to deal with carnal matters in a clear and unembarrassed manner, but in its engagement with metaphysical ideas and its refusal to pander to its reader,” and noted that “a bare-bones plot description does not do justice to Szalay’s literary achievement in the novel, which, as ever, is predicated upon his stylistic legerdemain.” Szalay was previously shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 2016 for his linked collection of short stories All That Man Is.

This year’s Booker longlist includes authors from four continents, including Andrew Miller, Ash Taw, Kiran Desai, and Natasha Brown.

The Booker jury is composed of chair Roddy Doyle, novelist Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀, actor and publisher Sarah Jessica Parker, literary critic Chris Power, and author Kiley Reid.

The shortlist will be announced on Sept. 23 and the winner will be named at the annual ceremony in London on Nov. 10.
