Three debut novels made the 13-book longlist: Kenan Orhan's The Renovation, Rebecca Perry's May We Feed the King and Djamel White's All Them Dogs.
The debut-count market resolves on the number of first novels as identified in the Booker Prize Foundation's own longlist announcement materials.
A new panel of judges chooses the list each year, and each panel must decide whether to let a past winner back in. We looked at the lists since 2019. Some panels welcomed back a famous name. Others filled the whole list with writers who had never won.
