- Notes:
- "The Booker Prize, under fire for concentrating on fashionable and quirky writers, will attempt to regain its reputation for high seriousness with the launch of the "super Booker," a worldwide search for the living greats of fiction... The Independent understands that the reading list for the inaugural international prize - compiled at a recent secret meeting in Rome - already includes V.S. Naipul, the 2001 Nobel prize-winner from Trinidad; Margaret Atwood, the Canadian who won the Booker in 2000; John Updike, the Pulitzer prize-winner; Gabriel García Márquez, the master of magic realism; and Philip Roth, whose collected works are soon to appear in a Library of America edition."
