Tag Archives: Winner Prediction

It’s International Booker Prize time and I’m back with my shortlist reviews and winner prediction for 2026. Buckle in because there are some really strong translations and stories on this shortlist! The winner will be announced on May 19th, in exactly a week, and the reviews and prediction have gone up on YouTube & Instagram.

Earlier this year, I decided to start reading and reviewing the Booker Prize shortlisted books. I started off with the International Booker Prize 2024 and predicted The Details to win, but that didn’t happen. Kairos won instead. Kairos – the one book from the shortlist that I DNFed. And hence, I learned that I’m not great at predictions. But was I still going to try and read the Booker Prize 2024 shortlist and try to predict the winner all over again? Absolutely!
