* Beatty got this award for his novel "The Sellout"

* The jury said the novel was a "shocking and unexpectedly funny" portrayal of his native Los Angeles, using satire to explore racial equality in a fictional neighbourhood.

* The award was announced at a glitzy black-tie ceremony with leading authors in London's historic Guildhall building.

* The winner of the Man Booker Prize receives £52,500, ($64,100, 59,000 euros), although greater sums come from the huge sales prompted the moment judges announce their decision.

* The Man Booker was launched in 1969.

* It was only opened to non-Commonwealth authors from 2013 — a decision that was highly controversial in Britain. No US author had won it until now, despite concerns that writers from the United States would dominate the prize.
