Our 2008 National Book Critics Circle Winners
Random House congratulates its winners of the 2008 National Book Critics Circle awards: The World Is What It Is: The Authorized Biography of V.S. Naipaul by Patrick French (Biography) and The Forever War by Dexter Filkins (Nonfiction).
Biography committee chair Eric Banks said, "We must be grateful to V.S. Naipaul for his faith in requesting such an unflinching and deeply probing portrait, and it is our great gain that Patrick French gave him exactly what he asked for."
The NBCC press release called nonfiction award winner The Forever War by Dexter Filkins (Knopf), "a you-are-there account of bravery, suffering, and insanity as the Iraq war grinds on--a book that both exemplifies and transcends war reporting."
