Arundhati Roy
“I began to refer to myself as the Hooker who won the Booker.”
Arundhati Roy, Mother Mary Comes to Me

Neil Cross
“The Booker thing was a catalyst for me in a bizarre way. It’s perceived as an accolade to be published as a ‘literary’ writer, but, actually, it’s pompous and it’s fake. Literary fiction is often nothing more than a genre in itself. I’d always read omnivorously and often thought much literary fiction is read by young men and women in their 20s, as substitutes for experience.”
Neil Cross
