Here are the 13 books that I would like to see make the 2024 International Booker Prize Longlist. I would be happy to get even one prediction correct because this is such a challenging prize to speculate. If I could pick only one to make it, I would want it to be Lojman, but would be happy to see any of these books make the cut.
