Some of the shortlisted works for the Man Booker Prize 2018 for Fiction included 'Washington Black' by Esi Edugyan, 'Sabrina' by Nick Drnaso etc.
Some of the shortlisted works for the Man Booker Prize for Fiction in 2014 included 'To Rise Again at a Decent Hour' by Joshua Ferris.
In 2017, 'Lincoln in the Bardo' by George Saunders was a prominent nominee for the Man Booker Prize for Fiction. This work was notable for its inventive narrative that incorporated multiple voices. While I can't recall all the other nominees specifically, generally, the nominated books for the Man Booker Prize each year are chosen for their literary merit. They often explore complex themes, have unique writing styles, and contribute to the overall landscape of contemporary literature. So, there were likely other excellent works among the nominees in 2017 that added to the richness of the competition.
The winner of the Man Booker Prize 2018 in the Fiction category was Anna Burns for her novel 'Milkman'.
The winner of the 2015 Booker Prize for Fiction was Marlon James for his novel 'A Brief History of Seven Killings'.
One of the notable works was 'Milkman' by Anna Burns. It was highly regarded for its unique narrative style and exploration of complex themes in a Northern Irish setting.
The Man Booker Prize in 2017 for Fiction had some really remarkable contenders. George Saunders' 'Lincoln in the Bardo' ultimately took the prize. This novel is quite unique as it blends historical elements with a rather unconventional narrative style. It delves into the afterlife and the experiences of spirits in a way that is both thought - provoking and engaging. The competition for the Man Booker Prize is always fierce, and in 2017, Saunders' work stood out among the others.
I think 'Exit West' by Mohsin Hamid was also on the list. It was a thought - provoking novel that dealt with themes of migration and displacement. It had a somewhat magical realist touch with the concept of magical doors.
The winner of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction was 'The Underground Railroad' by Colson Whitehead. This novel reimagines the Underground Railroad as an actual railroad underground. It's a powerful exploration of slavery and freedom in America.
I'm not sure exactly which works were shortlisted for the 2023 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction. You can check the official Pulitzer Prize website or a reliable news source for that information.
The Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2020 was awarded to 'The Nickel Boys'. It's a remarkable book. It takes the reader into the lives of the boys in the reform school. Colson Whitehead's writing is so vivid that you can almost feel the pain and the struggle of the characters. He uses his words to not only tell a story but also to make a statement about the society that allowed such institutions to exist and the impact they had on the lives of the young boys who were sent there.
