I thinks she said this while juggling an armload of groceries through a mob of reporters outside her door. When somebody said, won’t this award bring you new readers, she seemed–according to the news story–to be pleased with that.

But do you believe she doesn’t care, Malcolm? Or you think it’s her way of expressing frustration that she was passed over so many times for writers she may see as inferior?
