Book Awards Quotes

“Literary prizes have always sparked controversy. Their validity has always been questioned as the criteria to determine books merits are subjective.”
― Mouloud Benzadi

“How can the Book Award Judges’ decision be right when we know that submitting the same books to different panels will result in different winners!”
― Mouloud Benzadi

“Literary Awards offer no guarantee that the fame they create will last. Today, not many readers know the authors who won the Nobel prize in literature in the thirties, forties, fifties or even nineties. But, who doesn’t know William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Victor Hugo or Jean-Paul Sartre who stood the test of time without winning a prestigious prize?”
― Mouloud Benzadi
