BIBLIOGRAPHY BIBLIOGRAPHIES BIBLIOGRAPHICAL BIBLIOGRAPHIE BIBLIOGRAFIA WYKBOOKS 16086 ENGLISH FICTION 20TH CENTURY BIO-BIBLIOGRAPHY DICTIONARIES. NOVELISTS, BIOGRAPHY MOSELEY, MERRITT, Cloth, 4to, 29 cm, xxiii, 415 pp, ills, facs. From the introduction: "The history of serious British fiction since 1960 may be divided into two eras, with the line of demarcation falling around 1980. As evidence of this division one might consult the table of Booker Prize shortlists from 1969 through 1996 that follows this introduction. (The shortlist is the announced list of finalists from which the winner is drawn.) The table confirms that the short-listed novelists in the early years of the Booker tended to be English, Scottish, Welsh, or Irish; those from the dominions came from the white portions of the Commonwealth - Canada, Australia, and the white minorities of Rhodesia and South Africa. V. S. Naipaul, born in Trinidad of Indian ancestry and short-listed in 1971 for In a Free State, is the solitary exception. The shortlist for 1991 shows a striking contrast: the winner, Ben Okri, is a Nigerian; the list also includes Rohinton Mistry, born in India and a resident of Canada; Timothy Mo, born in Hong Kong; William Trevor and Roddy Doyle, both Irish; and a single Englishman, Martin Amis. By this time some observers were starting to murmur that things had gone too far, that perhaps the Booker selectors were biased against the English."
