Europe Central

The New York Times Review of Books gets on the Vollmann train, reviewing the recent National Book Award winning novel Europe Central and Expelled from Eden: A William T. Vollmann Reader. I wonder if they assigned this after or before Vollmann won the prestigious award?

William T. Vollmann's Europe Central wins the National Book Award for fiction. This is a huge suprise -- he had the worst odds according to one article. Joan Didion picked up the award for non-fiction for her book on dealing with the death of her husband.

Finalists for the 2005 National Book Award have been announced. I was happy to see William T. Vollmann, a favorite of mine, garner his first nomination in the fiction category for Europe Central. (He was nominated in 2003 for the 7-volume nonfiction essay Rising Up and Rising Down, of which I'm almost done with volume 4.)
