Previously, we mentioned Aleksandar Hemon as a National Book Award finalist for The Lazarus Project and now it has made the New York Times 100 Notable Books of 2008. Several other 92nd Street Y Reading Series authors made the list as well, including Mary Jo Bang for Elegy who won the Y’s Discovery/The Nation Prize several years ago (now the “Discovery"/Boston Review Poetry Contest), and will be judging the competition this year. Here are the rest:
Fanon, John Edgar Wideman
Home, Marilynne Robinson
A Mercy, Toni Morrison
Modern Life, Matthea Harvey
Hallelujah Junction, John Adams
How Fiction Works, James Wood
