The International Booker Prize is the world’s most influential award for translated fiction. Each year it celebrates the best fiction from around the world, which has been translated into English and published in the UK and/or Ireland. 

The 2025 shortlist of six books will be announced on 8 April. Discover the 13 longlisted titles, which are in the running here. 

The Booker Prize Foundation is creating free POS for bookshops in the UK and Ireland to help customers find their ideal read from the shortlist.

Max Porter, Chair of International Booker Prize 2025 judges, says:

‘Translated fiction is not an elite or rarefied cultural space requiring expert knowledge; it is the exact opposite. It is stories of every conceivable kind from everywhere, for everyone. It is a miraculous way in which we might meet one another in all our strangeness and sameness, and defy the borders erected between us.’
