The Judges
2025 Winner: We Live Here Now by C.D. Rose
Amy Sackville, Chair of Judges:
鈥淎 book about what art is and what it does (or doesn鈥檛 do), C.D. Rose鈥檚 We Live Here Now in its turn asks profound questions of the contemporary world and the systems that power it, in the aether, deep under the surface, far out at sea. Motifs emerge and recur: containers, erasures, shady markets, sound and silence, 鈥榚cho and drone鈥�. This constellatory novel tests the bounds of the form while delivering all of its satisfactions: at once hilarious and deeply haunting, intellectually challenging and supremely entertaining.鈥�
