Why You Want To Win A Booker

Vernon God Little, a novel by DBC Pierre (a pseudonym,) was listed at 1,124 on the UK’s bestseller lists two weeks ago. Then, Pierre was awarded the Man Booker Prize, and his satirical poke at American life shot up to 18th on the list. Not a bad upgrade, but Pierre still trails last year’s winner, Yann Martel, which remains at #10.
