#31: We're All Winners, But Some Win Better Than Others
About this episode
To celebrate tonight's announcements of the National Book Critic Circle Award winners, Tom and I decided to go through all six categories (fiction, nonfiction, autobiography, biography, criticism, and poetry) and pick out who we thought would win. Seeing that neither of us has read many of the finalists, this makes for some pretty fun times and some great digressions, like about how we're both over WWII novels, and how "revolution" is the theme of this year's awards.
To honor the totally -insane- rad video the U of R admissions office released today, we decided to use a bit of it as our intro/outro music. But really, you should just watch the whole video on the Three Percent blog post. "For those of you who want to know what we're all about . . . MELIORA."
