It's desperately hard work you know .....
This suggesting some awards judges are perhaps more open-minded or well read, than others ?

Also, 2 articles on the page about interesting details on the Pulitzer process - apparently they have a squad of people who do the hard work (reading lots of books) and deciding on just 3 worthy books which they recommend to the "judges".
No, none good enough, even so.

Some of the judges' panels on other awards read and select from 10 or twenty novels, and obviously read themselves.
