Addressing pressing cultural and social issues, and weighted towards fiction, the 12 titles selected for the 2019 Stella Prize longlist were announced on Thursday.
With five non-fiction works on this year’s longlist, the Stella Prize judges – Amelia Lush, Louise Swinn, Michelle de Kretser, Daniel Browning, and Kate McClymonth – said the books by Australian women published in 2018 were ‘a sample of the zeitgeist, a look at what is informing our thinking right now’.
