The finalists for the National Book Award were announced, and there were some no-brainers like Roz Chast and Marilynne Robinson, but also some surprises like Emily St. John Mandel. Even so, Robinson is going to win the fiction award, right?
The Toast created a Definitive Character Guide to Stars Hollow and Avonlea. I am deep, deep into Gilmore Girls these days, and Anne of Green Gables and I go way, way back, so this is pretty much everything. I particularly appreciated the Tristan DuGrey/Jen Pringle match-up analysis, "Garden-variety bitches."
