In the interests of balance, Barnaby (senior cat) has requested that he is also represented here. He is mostly pretending this whole 'kitten' thing isn't happening...

A treat to see two of our Johnson & Alcock authors, William Trevor and Elizabeth Taylor, here!

Which judge resigned because the books were "mere pornography"? Which author, according to another judge, "puts one off sex"? Which book did Saul Bellow dismiss as a "tinkling teacup thing"? Who refused to give the prize to a book about cannibalism?

I wrote about the Booker Prize in the 1970s:
The Booker in the 1970s: 10 novels that are well worth rediscovering, five decades later | The Booker Prizes
The Booker shortlists of the 1970s are of exceptionally high quality, and while some of the novels may have fallen out of fashion, they’re essential volumes for any keen reader’s library

Starting the day with strong coffee and a stunning pile of #ODDBODY proofs. (Don't think Rose is on here yet) Summer 2025 has a treat in store...
