William Fiennes, chair of judges, unveils the shortlist for The Folio Prize 2015.

The Folio Prize recognises the best English-language fiction from around the world, regardless of form, genre or the author’s country of origin.

Internationally acclaimed writers Rachel Cooke, Mohsin Hamid, A. M. Homes and Deborah Levy completed the judging panel, which selected the eight titles from a list of 80 books nominated by The Folio Prize Academy. These were the 80 works of fiction published in the UK in 2014 that, in the eyes of the 235 writers and critics who constitute the Academy, were the best of the year.

The winner is announced on Monday 23 March, 2015.
