Copied from the Washington Post blog entry, which contains brief commentaries on each of the finalists:
Fiction: "Lord of Misrule," by Jaimy Gordon
Nonfiction: "Just Kids," by Patti Smith
Poetry: "Lighthead," by Terrance Hayes
Young people’s literature: "Mockingbird," by Kathryn Erskine
Lifetime achievement award: Tom Wolfe
Don't own any of these yet, but I think I shall investigate further (I have three of the five fiction finalists). Very curious about some of these winners, especially the Patti Smith one.
Eclectic and striving never to follow paths into ruts, the OF Blog focuses on essays, reviews, interviews, and other odds and ends that might be of interest to fans of both literary and speculative fiction. Now with a cute owl for your enjoyment.
