The Dublin Literary Award Shortlist has just been announced. A mammoth seventy-one longlisted titles has been whittled down to six.
The 2025 shortlist is:
- Selva Almada - Not a River
- Gerda Blees - We Are Light
- Michael Crummey - The Adversary
- Percival Everett - James
- Paul Lynch - Prophet Song
- Daniel Mason - North Woods
The winner will be announced on 22 May 2025 and will take home the 100,000 Euro prize.
If I had a say, the winner would be Percival Everett for James. Undoubtedly the best novel I have read in years!
