The Booker Man Prize has opened polling to the public to choose “The Best of the Booker”, a one-time award in celebration of the Booker Prize’s 40th anniversary. A panel of judges chose a shortlist of six titles from the 41 previous Booker Prize winners. Three of the six were published by the Penguin Group: Pat Barker’s The Ghost Road; J.M. Coetzee’s Disgrace; and Nadine Gordimer’s The Conservationist.
Everyone can vote for a favorite book on the shortlist. Until July 8, votes can be registered through the Man Booker Prize Website, SMS text-messaging, online partnerships with national and international media, and libraries, reading groups or book retailers. The winner will be announced at the London Literature Festival on July 10.
