Tayari's Blog: Mid-Week Links!

  • My mind is playing tricks on me. Yesterday when I blogged about the National Book Award people picking their favorite writers under 35, I forgot to include the link. I think that was sort sort of subconscious passive agressivity on my part. Please forgive me. Here are the chosen cherubs.
  • And speaking of being chosen, The MacArthur Genius Awards were announced yesterday-- Twenty-four $500,000 awards were handed out. Slate has sort of broken it down and have made a list of what you can do to up your chances of winning.
  • I've got this weird thing for the TV show, House. It's even weirder since I don't own a TV and have to watch it on my iPod. And it gets even weirder still when you know that I have a friend who is similarly TV-less and also watches House on my iPod with me. Anyhoo, I didn't even know that the star,Hugh Laurie, is a novelist!

    thanks for the tips on the genius grant. No wonder I never win--I live near the Rockies! that's got to be the only reason, right? :)
