National Book Award the Worst Hard Time but Not the Zero

Drat. The Zero didn't win the National Book Award. I was really looking forward to hanging out at events where I thought Jess Walter might be attending, in hopes of having some NBA juju rub off. Sorry, Jess. But maybe you'll have some NBA juju anyway. Hey, Timothy Egan won, though. And I've met him too. Them's good apples. Here are some National Book Award winners, blockquote style.

AP Wire | 11/15/2006 | National Book Award: 'The Echo Maker': Richard Powers' “The Echo Maker,” a scientific tale of memory and identity in the age of Sept. 11 and the Iraq war, won the National Book Award for fiction Wednesday night, honoring a widely respected author with a small but passionate readership.
Timothy Egan's Dust Bowl history, “The Worst Hard Time” won for nonfiction; Nathaniel Mackey's musical and mystical “Splay Anthem” took the poetry prize; and M.T. Anderson's “The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Vol. I,” a multi-formatted epic in 18th century prose, was cited for young people's literature.

Blessings and salutations on a Wednesday evening.
