Why is it called the Man Booker Prize?
It was modeled after the Prix Goncourt, a similar award for French fiction. The Booker Prize was named after its original sponsor, the Booker McConnell Company. From 2002 to 2019, the name of the award was changed to the Man Booker Prize after a new sponsor, the Man Group.
Who has won the Booker Prize more than once?
Four authors have won more than once: J.M. Coetzee was the first person to win twice, in 1983 and again in 1999, when he described the Booker as 'the ultimate prize to win in the English speaking world'. Peter Carey won first in 1988 and then in 2001.
