More on the Morning News Tournament
February 21, 2009
The Morning News Tournament of Books is starting on March 9th. Here are the judges and an explanation and all that good stuff.
If you download the PDF of the brackets for the competition, you'll see Disreputable History is up in the first round against Shadow Country, winner of the National Book Award. So um... yeah.
SC is a favorite with a ranking of 1 -- while DHOFLB is a dark horse at 4. It's also the only YA novel in the competition.
But still!
Fun.
You can comment as the tournament progresses, you can buy T-shirts, and all the books are discounted at Powells.
P.S. The judges include Amanda Hesser and John Hodgman and Junot Diaz and other extremely cool writers.
