The winner of the Lost Man Booker Prize was announced this week. Tobias Hill, one of the judges, appraises the shortlist By the time you read this, the Lost Man Booker Prize will have been announced. You may know the winner, in which case you have the advantage of me. Though I judged the prize from longlist through shortlist, whittling down 21 novels to six, the ultimate decision isn’t mine to make: like the special 2008 Best of the Booker, the Lost Man Booker 1970/2010 will be determined by public vote. I’m afraid I find myself begrudging you the privilege. Dear reader, I hope you’ve chosen well. I hope you’re satisfied.
