It is with great excitement that we are able to announce that Lee Child has been selected as one of the Judges for the Booker Prize 2020.
Lee has done what few others have achieved in his career, bridging the gap between literary and commercial fans, pushing back at those who claim commercial success and literary merit seldom go hand in hand.
With the likes of Kate Atkinson, Margaret Drabble, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama amongst Lee’s ‘Reacher Creatures’, it’s no surprise that his appointment brings an fresh perception to the prestigious award.
As Gaby Wood, Literary Director of the Booker Prize Foundation noted in comments to the Evening Express, each judge’s ‘powers of perception have broken barriers in their respective fields.’ With over 100 million copies sold worldwide, we are sure that Lee’s fans and avid readers will keep up to date on all the latest news in regard to this year’s historic prize.
