Wimmin’s “literature”–recycling garbage.

Via Andrew Bolt: (Australia)
‘WOMEN writers dominate the shortlists for this year’s The Age book of the year awards and have made a clean sweep of the non-fiction list, which is made up of five very differing memoirs.
That list contains Anne Summers’s account of a search for a portrait of her late mother; Kate Howard’s story of battling as a 16-year-old to prevent her baby from being forcibly taken for adoption; Sandy Jeff’s memoir about struggling with schizophrenia; Ros Moriarty’s account of her marriage with a Borroloola man and her experience of his culture; and Maria Tumarkin’s story of her return to her Russian homeland with her Australian-born daughter.
…………More interesting, if you start to chart the social relationships between the nominees and their reviewers, you find they are all part of the same push, attend the same lit festivals and, one suspects, nominate each other for prominence and prizes within the tight little circuit of literary gab fests and wankathons.’
All subsidised by the taxpayer, naturally….
