The author offers reflections on trends in literary prizes and in fiction. She notes the 2013 decision to allow authors from outside the Commonwealth countries to enter the Man Booker Prize competition and cites the creation of global prizes for fiction in English including the Folio Prize and the Windham Campbell awards. She discusses the question whether such prizes encourage writers to avoid local specificity. "The Luminaries" by Eleanor Catton, winner of the 2013 Man Booker Prize, is cited.
