The National Book Foundation has announced the 2007 5 under 35. I know, it sounds like a math problem, but it’s about writers:
Now in its second year, 5 Under 35 highlights the work of the next generation of fiction writers by asking five previous National Book Awards fiction Winners and Finalists to select one fiction writer under the age of 35 whose work they find particularly promising and exciting.
