No Indian in Booker list

No Indian in Booker list

Though recent winners include Indians like Kiran Desai (2006) and Aravind Adiga (2008), this year, nobody figures in the long list.

You can check out the long list.

Wikipedia also maintains a page on all winners from the 1960s.

One of the books in the long list is Summertime by J M Coetzee, who is one of only two novelists to have won the Booker Prize twice with Life & Times of Michael K in 1983 and Disgrace in 1999.

While all the long listed writers will be hoping to win, William Trevor, who has previously short listed four times for the annual prize, will probably be hoping for fifth time lucky.
