The bit that got me was ...
QuoteThe judges for the Gordon Burn Prize 2019 are the author AA Dhand, artist Gary Hume, broadcaster and journalist Miranda Sawyer and musician Rachel Unthank.

Why the fuck should I be interested in any book recommended by Miranda fucking Sawyer?

Anyway, I've got Lanny, read Ghost Wall (it's brill), have no interest in the Wu-Tang Clan and dislike David "18 Wheeler" Keenan. None of the others really jump out at me but will have a browse next time I get chance.
