Martyn Goff Martyn Goff (7 June 1923 – 25 March 2015) was a British literary administrator, author, and bookseller. He made a significant contribution to the organisation and popularity of the Booker Prize for many years, and was involved in efforts to increase literacy and book ownership, particularly among children. ==Background== Born in 1923, he grew up in Hampstead, London. His father, Jacob, was a Russian fur dealer who had emigrated to Britain and became a supplier to department stores.〔(【引用サイトリンク】access-date=14 April 2015 )〕 After studying at Clifton College〔 in Bristol, he won a place at Oxford University to study English but the intervention of World War Two meant he joined the RAF〔 as a Lancaster bomber wireless operator serving in the Middle East.〔 While there, he edited a magazine that included book and music reviews,〔 and wrote a letter to the poet Siegfried Sassoon. The poet, while writing later to John Maynard Keynes, suggested that this letter was instrumental in the poet's going back to writing after a barren spell of two years.〔 Goff was demobilised in 1946.〔
