The other day I complained that the Galaxy Book Awards had turned into a celebrity event with nothing to do with literary merit, writes Mrs. M. Now it seems it’s even worse than I thought.

Some short-listed authors, i.e. the model Jordan, didn’t even write her books! It’s been described like a model putting her name on sheets or perfume. Now we have celebrities putting their names on ghost written books and getting nominated for literary awards. This is just marketing and branding. And the publishers are participating in the hoax. It’s a sad day for literature. How silly can you get!
