LLA authors Djamel White and Douglas Stuart have been longlisted for The Booker Prize 2026.
By turns savage, thrilling and unexpectedly tender, All Them Dogs is a gripping story of violence, lust, and greed that explores one man’s struggles to find his place in an unsparing world.
John of John is the heartbreaking story of a young man’s return home and how the bonds of family life are torn by the weight of expectation, and confirms Douglas Stuart as one of the great British writers at work today.
