Lydia Davis Awarded the Man Booker International Prize!
Master short story craftswoman Lydia Davis was recently awarded the 2013 Man Booker International Prize!
Davis is best known for her rich and precise stories, sometimes told in as few as two sentences. As Dave Eggers said, Davis "blows the roof off of so many of our assumptions about what constitutes short fiction." We're honored to have this literary expert on our list.

Eleanor & Park Won the Boston Globe–Horn Book Award for Fiction!
UPDATE (6.19): We added a signed book sweepstakes to this post! See below for details!
We are absurdly happy to bring you the incredible (albeit totally unsurprising) news that Rainbow Rowell's young adult debut, ELEANOR & PARK, was awarded the 2013 Boston Globe–Horn Book Award for Excellence in Children’s Literature for Fiction.
Congratulations, Rainbow!! Bravo and well-deserved!
The announcement was made this past week at BookExpo America and we invite you to watch the video posted below—Rainbow comes on screen near the end.
"Rowell presents her teen protagonists’ intelligent observations, extreme inner desires, and irrational feelings through compelling alternating narrations. She imbues the novel with rich character development, a spot-on depiction of the 1980s, and powerful descriptive passages. [...] It’s an honest, heart-wrenching portrayal of imperfect but unforgettable love." —The Horn Book
Again, we're so excited to see Rainbow honored for her extraordinary work. She will receive her award this October at Simmons College in Boston.
To see the full list of 2013 winners and honor books head to HBook.com.
