The L. A. Times
It was announced last night that An Abundance of Katherines is a finalist for this year's Los Angeles Times Book Prize.
The winner will be announced at this weird Academy Awards-like thing in April. Last year, I got so nervous before the award was announced that I started mumbling please let me lose, please let me lose, please let me lose because I didn't want to have to make a speech in front of Joan Didion and assorted other literary celebrities. Anyway, I was very happy to lose to Per Nilsson, a great novelist who gave a lovely acceptance speech.
I'm very honored to be nominated alongside Coe Booth (Tyrell), M.T. Anderson (Octavian Nothing), Nancy Werlin (The Rules of Survival), and Meg Rosoff (Just in Case).
In other exciting news: Our Uncle Grambo has Looking for Alaska on his lisez list.

Congrats on your literary achievements!
We have chosen Looking for Alaska for our Mother-Daughter book group, and we are the hosts for the discussion. By any chance have you thought about developing a Book Group discussion guide for this book? Questions that if you were fly on the wall, (with a webcam, hah!) you would love to hear us discuss? If you have a few questions you think would be really provoking, could you please post them?
By the way, our whole family listened to your book over the February break and were rivoted. Can you imagine that we shut off the TV and listened because it was the favored entertainment? It has offered the family great entrees to discuss difficult topics. Thank you for a great read!
anonymous,
You can find great discussion questions about Looking for Alaska here.
Hope that helps!
John, that's effin' awesome! Also for Coe. I just read and loved TYRELL.
I love that the LA Times was so nice to nominate pretty much all my friends!
Now you all will finally be in my neck of the woods!
Dinner will be a blast!
We'll have so much fun!
Yay John! Congrats!
Congratulations! Fingers crossed!
YAY!I hope you win, and I have faith in you and whatever acceptance speech you would cook up. :)
As long as you thank me in your acceptance speech, we'll be kosh.
All kidding aside, congratulations on the nomination. As for the book, magnificent work. I finished it about a week or so ago, and now The Senator has it on the (proverbial) nightstand. Looking forward to tackling Katherines after I'm done with this Nelson DeMille thrillride.
That's fantastic.
The whole list is super cool amazing.
Good luck. Good luck. Good luck.
