Literary agent and archivist Peter Straus has been credited with conceiving the idea of a Man Booker Prize for the missing year after wondering why Robertson Davies's 1970 novel Fifth Business had not been included in the Man Booker Prize shortlist.
There are many Booker and Nobel Prize-winning authors on the Vintage list, including writers such as Iris Murdoch, who won the Booker Prize for her novel, The Sea, the Sea, and also has been longlisted in the category of Lost Man Booker Prize for her novel, A Fairly Honourable Defeat.
