Pat Barker: An article last Sunday about novelist Pat Barker said that in 1995, when she won the Booker Prize for “The Ghost Road,” she edged the heavily favored “Midnight’s Children” by Salman Rushdie. “Midnight Children” won the Booker in 1981; it was Rushdie’s novel “The Moor’s Last Sigh” that was shortlisted for the 1995 Booker and lost to “The Ghost Road.”
