Explanation

Anglo-Irish writer, J.G. Farrell, was on May 19, 2010 posthumously awarded a special one-off lost Booker prize for his novel Troubles', published in 1970. The prize, which carries no cash award, was created to recognise books of 1970 which missed out because of a change in rules that meant that the 1971 Booker was given to novels published that year, rather than retrospectively, as had been the practice until then.
