Gavin breaks the news that one Ms. Kelly Link is a finalist for this year’s Young Lions Award. The nominees are:
Uzodinma Iweala, Beasts of No Nation
Rattawut Lapcharoensap, Sightseeing
Kelly Link, Magic for Beginners
Ander Monson, Other Electricities*
Eric Puchner, Music Through the Floor
YAY!
(*I also really, really liked this one.)
great news! the last four books on the list were all great (didn’t read the first one)–but monson and link are definitely my picks.
