I could not be happier that @MaazaMengiste's outstanding novel, The Shadow King, has made it onto this year's @TheBookerPrizes longlist. This review in the @nytimesbooks does justice to its multi-layered, lyrical, brutal brilliance. Congratulations Maaza https://t.co/Jnd3kmNF0m

[Peter Florence @PeterFlorence]

What a fascinating #longlist. Fantastic discoveries here. 5 I haven’t read and now look forward to. The others are terrific. 2 of them are great.
