Thanks for posting the link to the article.
Mildly related:
There is a new song out on Mark Knopfler's latest album (Tracker is the name of the album). The song is called Beryl -- a rather nice tribute to a woman who never got the Booker -- until she was dead. Knopfler mentioned in an interview the wide gulf between Beryl and her upbringing/education and those who were judging her work. Knopfer is a GREAT storyteller. He manages to get so much across in each song. I loved the Beryl song. It kind of captures a bit of the whole "small, elite group voting" thing.
