Paul Beatty has become the first US winner of the Man Booker Prize for The Sellout.
Until 2013 the award was open only to citizens of the Commonwealth of nations (in essence, the UK and former British colonies). In 2014 the award was opened to authors worldwide so long as their work is in English and published in the UK.
