I picked up a copy of M. John Harrison's novel Light because it was a Tiptree winner (the year before I was on the jury). I not only didn't like the book, I couldn't see why it won the Tiptree.

Prompted by [livejournal.com profile] rysmiel's review of the book, I finally got around to seeing what that year's jury said about it. I still don't get it. Partly I don't see what they saw in the book, and partly I don't agree that what they saw explores or expands gender.
