Oprah In More Cred Than Clarke Judges Shock
I'm going to do my best to cover all of them, except for the Arthur C. Clarkes, and I'll tell you why. As many probably know, Cormac McCarthy's The Road and Thomas Pynchon's Against the Day have been ruled ineligible because the UK publishers wouldn't provide the judges with free review copies. So in my eyes, the ACC's have lost their credibility this year, and I would encourage those interested to boycott the awards.Exhibit B:
Don't expect a lot of sunshine in Oprah Winfrey's latest book club pick. Publishing's leading hit-maker has chosen Cormac McCarthy's The Road, a bleak, apocalyptic novel by an author who rarely talks to the media.I don't know how one might boycott the Clarke Award but I'm going to try!
