Yes, but, you could say that in a sense about any award – why have rules – why make it only young people, only women, only crime – or why (haha, being cheeky here) does it HAVE to be about Australian life “in any of its phases”? Yes, I know it’s a bequest, but many prizes have historical reasons for being what they are. The basic point about the Booker is it has to be published in the UK I understand, and therefore requiring it to be in English language, the official language, is probably a valid criterion. I was sad, in a way, to see it open up to US etc but I suppose the Commonwealth is an old-fashioned concept now? The good thing, I think, is that there are so many awards now that most if not all writers can find a few they are eligible for?
