Cynthia Ozick on the Orange Prize

       Cynthia Ozick -- recently shortlisted for the all-women is-it-still-called-the-Orange-this-week-? Prize for Fiction -- considers whether considering just books written by women makes for Prize or Prejudice in an op-ed piece for The New York Times.
       Her conclusion ?

For readers and writers, in sum, the more prizes the better, however they are structured, and philosophy be damned.
