I've not read this so I have no idea if the story is an issue or not. I might read it even so. I'm still deciding
I do think we should vet authors to not nominate authors who are anti-Semite, racist, abusers, or molesters. We've read some books that were clearly spoiled because of the author's racism and anti-semitism.
