This year’s award goes to an Indian writer Aniruddha Bahal for his novel Bunker 13.
Last year’s winning entry was full of medical terms, while this year’s can be a car-fetish’s dream come true.
She is topping up your engine oil for the cross-country coming up. Your RPM is hitting a new high. To wait any longer would be to lose prime time…She picks up a Bugatti’s momentum. You want her more at a Volkswagen’s steady trot. Squeeze the maximum mileage out of your gallon of gas. But she’s eating up the road with all cylinders blazing. You lift her out. You want to try different kinds of fusion.
I really wonder what goes through his mind when he wrote that.
