Not Just the Booker: Reading Contemporary Fiction

The Booker Prize is the most acclaimed literary award in the UK. But does the winner represent the best title of the year? We will read, discuss and judge for ourselves the winners of six literary prizes and one of the best-selling fiction titles of 2021 to answer this question. The only necessary qualification is a willingness to read and discuss the seven books. We focus on novels, but in recent years this course has included the odd poetry or non-fiction title, too.
