A bildungsroman, a story within a story and two novels set across a single day feature in the six-book shortlist for this year’s Goldsmiths prize.
The award, which celebrates “fiction that breaks the mould”, carries a prize of £10,000. This year’s shortlist, selected from 107 books, “shows the novel – that most slippery and vital of forms – continuing to morph and reinvent itself in ways that surprise and delight us,” said Dr Tom Lee, judging chair and lecturer in creative writing at Goldsmiths, University of London.
