Poll

It never occurred to me to consider voting for the current winning vote receiver, Riddance, by Shelley Jackson. That's because I confused Shelley Jackson with Shirley Jackson, a writer whose work I don't care for. I noticed Riddance was from 2018. A posthumous work, I wondered? That's when I realized it's actually two different people. Shelley, I know nothing about.

Shelley Jackson's Riddance is currently garnering a meager 3.25 rating. Not a stellar mark. When I look at the comments of the low-raters, their objection seems to be solely that Jackson's vocabulary surpasses theirs. That's no reason to dismiss a work, just lazy reading. I'm therefore down for Riddance if it ends up winning.

I do wonder why this is the only literary work Jackson has produced since 2010 though.
