From Reuters.com:
E.L. Doctorow’s Civil War novel The March and Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking a memoir of her husband’s death and daughter’s illness, were among finalists announced on Wednesday for the National Book Award.
Didion and Doctorow are among the best-known and popular of the nominees, after the foundation came under fire last year for nominating a narrow range of obscure writers.
Nonfiction nominee
One of the nonfiction nominees is “102 Minutes: The Untold Story of the Fight to Survive Inside the Twin Towers”
The book told some real interesting and awesome stories of peoples experiences after the World Trade Center crashes but I was not impressed with the writing and organization.
