Book Awards and Such
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
May we be reminded this was a great choice in 1997 for the National Book Critics Circle Award. I point this out because most of the books that have received the award are great reads. His book "Golden State" probably was the best before this, while remembering "The Sacrifice" as well. I want to find a copy of "Golden State". Anyway, when thinking about this book, one should remember the notoriety that it and its author have received. It was a finalist for the National Book Award as well. I have found that both awards can sometimes mean that the book is actually worth more of a read than some pulitzer prize winning books, especially more recently.
A powerful, wonderful collection
