The Booker Prize is the leading literary award in the English speaking world, and has brought recognition, reward and readership to outstanding fiction for over five decades. Each year, the prize is awarded to what is, in the opinion of the judges, the best novel of the year written in English and published in the UK and Ireland.

Previous winners include The Testaments by Margaret Atwood, Midnight Children by Salman Rushdie, The Promise by Damon Galgut, Schindler's Ark by Thomas Keneally, Life of Pi by Yann Martel, The Bone People by Keri Hulme and many more.

What a cool coincidence that this video came out today! I've just been going down a bit of a Booker Prize rabbit hole — looking at all the past winners, reading about the prize's history, appreciating the amazing people who narrate our world! Kudos to the judges. I didn't realize the commitment required, but it seems like they embrace it.
