The Man Booker Prize, established in 1969, is a prestigious literary award recognizing the best original novel written in English and published in the UK, regardless of the author's nationality since 2014. Over the years, it has celebrated a diverse range of authors and themes, from V.S. Naipaul's exploration of post-colonial identity in In a Free State (1971) to Margaret Atwood's dystopian vision in The Handmaid's Tale (1986), and more recently, Douglas Stuart's poignant portrayal of poverty in Shuggie Bain (2020). The prize not only elevates the visibility of literature but also often leads to significant sales boosts and critical acclaim for the winning authors, reflecting the evolving landscape of contemporary storytelling.
