The Judges is a haunting and surreal exploration of identity, ambition, and the relentless scrutiny that comes with standing out. Mary Sorabi, a young woman of Indian and Chinese descent, is a classical pianist devoted to the avant-garde music of the twentieth century-a style most people dislike but one she loves fiercely. When Mary wins a prestigious competition, her life transforms. Yet instead of pride, she feels fear and suffocation, as the spotlight brings relentless judgment to her every move.
As Mary navigates this new reality, she begins to sense that the judgment extends far beyond her music. Her very existence seems to be on trial. The narrative unfolds through a series of fragmented perspectives: a mysterious and anonymous narrator who knows Mary intimately, a journalist whose interviews with her grow increasingly strange and unsettling, and the enigmatic, ominous judges themselves.
At its core, The Judges is a provocative tale of prejudice, the price of being different, and the tension between pleasing others and staying true to oneself. It poses universal questions about legacy and invisibility: What does it mean to be remembered? What does it mean to be forgotten? Dark, thought-provoking, and uniquely constructed, The Judges challenges readers to confront their own biases and the weight of societal expectations.
