Canadian authors Michael Ondaatje and Esi Edugyan have made the long list for this year’s Man Booker Prize in London.

Victoria-based Edugyan made this year’s long list for “Washington Black.”  She was shortlisted for the Booker in 2011 for “Half Blood Blues” which went on to win the Scotiabank Giller Prize.
