From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of winners and shortlisted authors of the Booker Prize for Fiction . Winning titles are listed in yellow, first in their year.
The prize has been awarded each year since 1969 to the best original full-length novel, written in the English language, by a citizen of the Commonwealth of Nations or the Republic of Ireland . In 2014, it was opened for the first time to any work published in the United Kingdom and written in (not translated into) the English language.
There have been three special awards celebrating the Booker's history. In 1993, the "Booker of Bookers " prize was awarded to Salman Rushdie for Midnight's Children (the 1981 winner) as the best novel to win the award in its first 25 years. Midnight's Children also won a public vote in 2008, on the prize's fortieth anniversary, "The Best of the Booker ". In 2018 a special "Golden Booker" was awarded celebrating 50 years of the award - this was won by Michael Ondaatje for The English Patient .

Notes
^ "... in 1971, just two years after it began, the Booker Prize ceased to be awarded retrospectively and became – as it is today – a prize for the best novel of the year of publication. At the same time the award moved from April to November and, as a result, a wealth of fiction published for much of 1970 fell through the net and was never considered for the prize." See "Lost Man Booker Prize shortlist announced" . bookerprize.com . Archived from the original on 2 December 2010.
