Booklist Online: More than 130,000 book reviews for librarians, book groups, and book lovers - from the trusted experts at the American Library Association

Book awards are usually time sensitive, covering the best books of the year, so I was surprised to see that a first novel I reviewed way back in 2007 received a very generous today in Dublin, Ireland. The book is Man Gone Down by Michael Thompson, and the award is the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. Michael Thompson’s prize is 100, 000 Euros.  ( Photo of Michael Thomas by Ben Russell.)
