Prep-reading for National Book Award '5 Under 35 Interviews

What I’ll be reading (and rereading) as I prep to interview the 8th annual ‘5 Under 35’ National Book Foundation authors on November 18th at powerhouse Arena. Hosted by Carrie Brownstein & moderated by Fiona Maazel.

The 5 Under 35 authors’ books: Daisy Hildyard, NoViolet Bulawayo, Amanda Coplin, Molly Antopol, and Merrit Tierce, whose book is out Fall 2014.

National Book Award winners (each selected a 5 Under 35 author): Jesmyn Ward, Kevin Powers, Junot Díaz, Ben Fountain and Louise Erdrich.

I’m feeling very fortunate to spend time with such amazing authors, and their books.

Plus, I got a National Book Awards tote bag. #booknerdheaven
