Booker Prize Quiz answers revealed

Check your Booker knowledge against answers

8 May 2008

To mark the 40th anniversary of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction, The Times (UK)  launched a competition giving its readers the chance to win every single winning novel in the prize's history. The winner of the 41 books had to succeed in answering correctly the forty questions in a fiendishly difficult quiz set by Peter Straus, Honorary Archivist of the Man Booker Prize.

The competition has now closed but anyone curious as to how they did will be able to reveal the answers on the Times Online website.

The winner of the quiz, yet to be announced, will receive a copy of every Booker-winning work, from the inaugural winner, Something to Answer For by P. H. Newby, to last year's The Gathering by Anne Enright. With two winners being awarded in 1974 and 1992, this means a total of 41 books altogether.
