The Booker Prize jury has undergone an intense reading routine, dedicating 12 hours daily to evaluate nominated novels. Mary Beard, the jury chair, described this task as the most challenging she has faced. The prize, worth £50,000, honors the best English-language fiction published between October 2025 and September 2026. The jury initially reviewed 163 submissions, narrowing it down to six finalists. Members, including Jarvis Cocker, adapted their reading habits to fit their schedules, with some opting for digital formats. The jury aimed to select works that felt distinctly human, celebrating uniqueness and imperfections. The winner will be announced on November 9, 2026.
