In this book, Merritt Moseley offers a brief history of the Booker Prize since 1992. With a short chapter covering each year, we follow the change in criteria, the highs and lows, shortlists, winners and controversies of the Booker Prize.
1. The most up-to-date coverage of the Booker Prize for the last 27 years - offers critique and literary analysis as well as a fascinating history
2. Book prizes are a popular topic of study/research in relation to contemporary fiction but there has been very little published on this so far
3. Other books on the topic are either out of date, or don't offer the year by year coverage of ours
