Awards are a racket. They’ve always been a racket: a small amount of people decide who gets a trophy of some sort from a slightly larger amount of people. Sometimes. Sometimes it’s just their friends. Or friends of friends. Or people they’ve heard of. Or…or…there is no perfect awards system, and you can always find fault with the jury. Like …
It’s been one year exactly since I had laser eye surgery, which is enough time for me to give my own account of the entire process. If you want to skip this and just find out out who to go to and when, the answer is David Gartry at Moorfields. And right now. I’ve got him to thank for changing …
