Terry, OGIC, and I are all big fans of Kate Christensen’s work, so it was thrilling to hear that her most recent novel, The Great Man, has received a well-deserved honor, taking home the 2008 Pen/Faulkner Award for Fiction.
I was also pleased to learn from Galleycat that Sonya Hartnett, author of the phenomenal Thursday’s Child and other novels, has received the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award for children’s literature. Yay yay!
