LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2026 "The funniest and smartest novel I've read in a while. " -Zadie Smith An out-of-work actor accepts the role of a lifetime-sitting soundlessly in a lecture theater, zipped into a large leather bag-to aid a professor's psychological experiment. What could possibly go wrong. In Luke Kennard's audacious new novel, a penniless and out-of-work actor picks up a job working for Dr. Blend, a university professor who is conducting a psychological experiment. Dr. Blend wants to know: how will his students react to someone zipped into an oversized bag, sitting at the back of the lecture hall over a series of Fall lectures. The role, eagerly accepted, soon yields unexpected consequences, from a professor of post-humanism developing research questions of her own-in particular, can you love someone secreted away inside a black bag. -to the actor's childhood friend forming a vision for monetizing this unique new situation. In the end, only Black Bag will be able to say what it all means. A warped campus novel, an investigation into the crisis of masculinity, and an off-kilter love story, Black Bag. is a firework of a novel: blazingly funny and profoundly humane. "A genre-defying, big-swing of a novel. a sharply funny meditation on masculinity, academia, the modern attention economy, and the quiet desperation of everyday life. " -Andrew Boryga, author of Victim.
