2023 International Booker Prize shortlist
Shortlisted for the 2023 International Booker Prize.
A search for origins and a possible miracle
Set in a Caribbean and West Indian literary context, the novel begins with the birth of Pascal, whose striking appearance prompts a rumor that he is the child of God. As he travels among communities in search of his origins, signs in his life feed questions about his identity and mission. The premise brings together religious imagery, a journey of self-discovery, and speculation about whether one person might alter humanity’s fate. The title’s “New World Gospel” frames these questions as both personal and expansive.
