“To understand subjectivity in literary awards, think of these competitions as social media platforms and judging panels as their users. A book you submit to a literary award competition is like a post you share on social media—some praise its ideas, others reject them; some find it inspiring, others provoking; tragic to some, laughable to the rest.”
