The pattern behind it

3 of 7
Three of the last seven Booker longlists (2019–2025) included at least one former winner of the prize. The pattern is split — and the misses came in a consecutive block, so panel temperament matters more than trend.

A new panel of judges chooses the list each year, and each panel must decide whether to let a past winner back in. We looked at the lists since 2019. Some panels welcomed back a famous name. Others filled the whole list with writers who had never won.
