Woot! Adam Levin won the NY Public Library’s Young Lion Fiction Award for The Instructions. Looks like Mr. Levin’s getting the drinks next time (the award comes with a $10,000 cash prize).
The Book Spy blog spots Levin on the subway and wonders about his flashy jacket.
May’s book club selections are Daniel Orozco‘s short story collection Orientation and Tayari Jones‘ novel Silver Sparrow.
Of Orientation, Yiyun Li writes: “The stories in this collection make one marvel at the bigness of their creator’s mind—each of them has the depth and scope of a novel.”
