FYI:
On Monday morning, the 2004 National Book Award winners in fiction and
nonfiction were made live on the Bookshare.org site. Announced in the
middle of last week, these two new books are two outstanding accounts of
remarkably different histories. In the fictional "The News from
Paraguay," author Lily Tuck weaves romance and imperial ambitions into
an intricate and imaginative portrait of life in 19th century Paraguay.
Kevin Boyle, a professor of history at Ohio State University, won the
nonfiction prize for "Arc of Justice: A Saga of Race, Civil Rights and
Murder in the Jazz Age," is a 1920s courtroom drama about the murder
trial of Dr. Ossian Sweet, who purchased a house in an all white
neighborhood in Detroit with some serious consequences.
Enjoy reading them. .. they look wonderful, although I haven't had a
chance to get to either yet.
Best,
Marissa
