The longlist has been announced! It features work from four continents, four Irish writers, four debut novelists – and ten authors who are recognised by the Booker Prize for the first time

Novelist Esi Edugyan, twice-shortlisted for the Booker Prize, is the chair of the 2023 judging panel and is joined by actor, writer and director Adjoa Andoh; poet, lecturer, editor and critic Mary Jean Chan; Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University and Shakespeare specialist James Shapiro; and actor and writer Robert Webb.

The judges are looking for the best work of long-form fiction, selected from entries published in the UK and Ireland between October 1 2022 and September 30 2023.

The longlist of 13 books – the ‘Booker Dozen’ – was announced on August 1, 2023 with the shortlist of six books to follow on September 21. The winner of the £50,000 prize will be announced at an event at Old Billingsgate, London, on November 26, 2023.

Currently you have to tap the three dots menu in the corner and then move your finger to the center of the screen to press "show community info". I think that a nice shortcut to this would be to simply tap the community image. (I would also support a visible button for this, but at least tapping the image doesn't require any visual change and shouldn't change/break anything for anyone).

When using the browser, when I see a post that has been cross-posted to several communities, it only shows in my feed once. Jerboa seems to ignore the fact something has been cross-posted and shows it multiple times in the feed.

Excerpt

After booking a Ryanair flight through the online travel agency eDreams, the complainant received an email from Ryanair requesting her to complete a “verification process”. She was presented with the choice of either verifying through facial recognition – or going to the check-in counter at the airport more than two hours before departure. The complainant would not have been able to board the flight if she had refused to obey these instructions. She was even charged a small fee for the “verification process”.
