[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This diminishes the Booker prize in my eyes and is just further evidence of how political a lot of these awards are.[/quote]

I have read a couple books from her imprint and they were excellent. I don’t know who the other judges are or what requirements there are, but the books she has chosen to publish seem to be high quality. [/quote]

In that NYT best books list, SPJ’s choice was excellent.[/quote]

This was her list:
An American Marriage,” by Tayari Jones ● “The Bee Sting,” by Paul Murray ● “A Burning,” by Megha Majumdar ● “A Constellation of Vital Phenomena,” by Anthony Marra ● “The Corrections,” by Jonathan Franzen ● “The Goldfinch,” by Donna Tartt ● “A History of Burning,” by Janika Oza ● “The Nickel Boys,” by Colson Whitehead ● “Say Nothing,” by Patrick Radden Keefe ● “Wave,” by Sonali Deraniyagala

What impressed you on this list?

that's a very mainstream list and could easily have been provided by a marketing person. Or just by looking up best seller lists in the NYTimes. [/quote]
