As it has every decade since 1983, Granta magazine unveiled its 2023 Best of Young British Novelists list of 20 writers under 40, though this time the list has "expanded to include writers who 'regard this country as their home' even if they don't have a British passport," the Guardian reported. "The result is a more varied and encompassing portrait of the kind of writing that is happening today in Britain," said Luke Neima, deputy editor of Granta.
Selected by judges Tash Aw, Rachel Cusk, Brian Dillon, Helen Oyeyemi and Sigrid Rausing, Granta's 2023 picks for Best of Young British Novelists are Graeme Armstrong, Jennifer Atkins, Sara Baume, Sarah Bernstein, Natasha Brown, Eleanor Catton, Eliza Clark, Tom Crewe, Lauren Aimee Curtis, Camilla Grudova, Isabella Hammad, Sophie Mackintosh, Anna Metcalfe, Thomas Morris, Derek Owusu, K Patrick, Yara Rodrigues Fowler, Saba Sams, Olivia Sudjic, and Eley Williams.
Granta will publish its once-in-a-decade Best of Young British Novelists issue later this month.
