The Man Booker Prize, formerly known as just the Booker Prize, is recognised as the most prestigious literary award in the UK.

Established in 1969, it provides readers with the opportunity to review the year's best fiction. Often highly controversial, the prize attracts much media attention and high book sales. Many book collectors of modern fiction try to build a complete set of all shortlisted and winning titles.

A longlist is announced in Mid August followed by the shortlist in September and the final award in late October. The prize is given to the best novel in the English Language written by a Commonwealth or Irish citizen and published in the UK.
During its 35 years the prize has been won by some of the most famous contemporary writers such as Salman Rushdie, J M Coetzee, Peter Carey, Kazuo Ishiguro, Graham Swift, Pat Barker, A S Byatt, Michael Ondaatje, Iris Murdoch, VS Naipaul and Margaret Atwood. Only J M Coetzee and Peter Carey have won it twice. The winner in 2003 was D B C Pierre for 'Vernon God Little'.
