HE WON! HE WON, HE WON, HE WON!!!!! And didn’t he look CUTE in his suit!?? And in answer to your question at Chasing Ray – we feel ENORMOUSLY lucky, blessed and privileged to have interviewed a National Book Award for Young People’s Literature winner — again. This is #2 for us — joining our SBBT interview with Gene Luen Yang!
We were SO crossing our fingers for this brilliant and funny and talented man — and this fabulous book, described to him by one teen as “the Catcher in the Rye for minorities.
Congratulations, Mr. Alexie,
Your fans A.F. and TadMack
I’m thrilled. This must be such a vindication for a man who had snarky criticisms of his books printed on his basketball teeshirts (taking some of the sting out of the snark, I am guessing). Mazel tov!
Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!
I did a little dance last night when I heard he won.
