Percival Everett and Samantha Harvey are the bookies’ favourites to win the 2024 Booker prize.
American author Everett was Ladbrokes’ frontrunner before the company closed bets on Monday morning, with 2/1 odds of taking home the £50,000 award for his novel James – a reimagining of Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the perspective of the enslaved Jim.
