For once I am directing you to Dr John Yeoman’s blog instead of mine. He has a beef on why he considers the Man-Booker attempts to glorify literature as faulty. I agree with him on the whole although I did enjoy DB Pierre’s Vernon God Little, which won the prize in 2003 and wasn’t literary in the least!
