For the second time in the award’s 12-year history, all five nominees are female, and three are women of colour — a notable accomplishment in a literary landscape where the major prizes continue to be dominated by white men.

5 Under 35 is an annual prize that honours five young and promising fiction writers, each selected by a National Book Award Winner or Finalist.
