Shortlist (The Lost Man Booker Prize)

The Lost Man Booker Prize was a special edition of the Man Booker Prize awarded by a public vote in 2010 to a novel from 1970 as the books published in 1970 were not eligible for the Man Booker Prize due to a rules alteration; until 1970 the prize was award to books published in the previous year, while from 1971 onwards it was awarded to books published the same year as the award.  The winner is designated in the Winner box as a retrospective award.  This box contains only the shortlist.
