Lost Man Booker prize longlist to award best omitted novels of 1970
Any of 22 authors, including Iris Murdoch and Joe Orton, could be awarded the coveted Lost Man Booker prize for novels that missed out due to rule changes in 1971
The few seconds between the reading of the shortlist and the tearing open of the prizewinner's envelope can last a nerve-mangling eternity for even the most garlanded writer. Imagine, then, what it must be like to wait 40 years to discover whether your manuscript has won one of the most prestigious awards in literature.
