Booker Prize

The Booker Prize, known in the past as the Man Booker Prize and the Booker Prize for Fiction, is a literary prize awarded each year for the best original full-length novel, written in the English language, by a citizen of either the Commonwealth of Nations or the Republic of Ireland.

To win the Booker Prize generally means to gain international success.
