Though recent winners include Indians like Kiran Desai (2006) and Aravind Adiga (2008), this year, nobody figures in the long list. You can check out the <a href="http://www.themanbookerprize.com/news/stories/1252">long list</a>. Wikipedia also maintains a page on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_winners_and_shortlisted_authors_of_the_Booker_Prize_for_Fiction">all winners</a> from the 1960s. One of the books in the long list is Summertime by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._M._Coetzee">J M Coetzee</a>, who is one of only two novelists to have won the Booker Prize twice with Life &amp; Times of Michael K in 1983 and Disgrace in 1999. While all the long listed writers will be hoping to win, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Trevor">William Trevor</a>, who has previously short listed four times for the annual prize, will probably be hoping for fifth time lucky.
