US writers Marilynne Robinson, Anne Tyler and Hanya Yanagihara are in the list for "Lila," "A Spool of Blue Thread" and "A Little Life" respectively.

The longlist of 13 books this year was selected from a total of 156 books by a panel of five presided by Michael Wood, who commended the authors from different parts of the world for their extraordinary literary masterworks.

"The range of different performances and forms of these novels is amazing. All of them did something exciting with the language they have chosen to use," Wood, who was joined by Ellah Wakatama Allfrey, John Burnside, Sam Leith and Frances Osborne in the panel, said via the Man Booker Prize website.

The same website writes that the top six books to emerge from the longlist will be revealed on September 15. The Man Booker Prize winner for 2015 will be revealed on October 13 at the London's Guildhall and will succeed Richard Flanagan, whose winning book "The Narrow Road to the Deep North'' sold 800,000 copies across the world.
