Last night (November 16th) the 2011
National Book Award winners were announced and the Warwick's staff is delighted to see two favorites standing in the winners circle. Winning the award for Fiction was Jesmyn Ward for her novel
Salvage the Bones, which Bloomsbury's George Gibson
reviewed (and raved about) in The Warwick's Blog last month as our special guest blogger. Stephen Greenblatt, a renowned literary scholar, whose work is much loved by our staffers, won the Non-Fiction award for
The Swerve: How the World Became Modern.
Other winners were poet Nikky Finney for
Head Off & Split and
Thanhha Lai for her tween novel Inside Out and Back Again.
