Refund by Karen Bender. Some observations on why these books ended up in the top 1. Pearlmans new book was on the NYTimes 1. Best, was a longlist finalist for the NBA, and her last book was a NBA finalist, won the National Book Critics Circle Award, and was a LA Times finalist. Fortune Smiles presence near the top should be self evident. Perhaps the most interesting entry here is A Manual for Cleaning Women by Lucia Berlin. This is a posthumously published collection of short stories that was on the NY Times 1. Paul Beattys book is at 4 for the same reason actually tied with Lucia Berlins book. Anyone read this. Welcome to Braggsville. NBA finalists long or shortlist and on the NY Times 1. Best list. 9. Franzens Purity made the NY Times 1. NBA, been a NBCC and PEN Faulkner finalist. Braggsville got points for the NBA finalist and for being a past PENFaulkner finalist, but wasnt listed on the NYTimes best 1. Mary Gaitskill is another interesting entry. Shes a prior NBA, NBCC, and PEN Faulkner finalist. Havent heard much on this board about her book. Morrison has a slew of past awards and nominations, so pretty much anything she publishes will put her on the list until more awards come out for current year books. NBA finalists who didnt make the NYTimes 1. Best and, unlike T. Geronimo Johnson, didnt have any past nominations. Other books that have gotten some attention on this list and where they are now 2. The Harder They Come by T. C. Boyle. 26. The Visiting Privilege by Joy Williams. The Tsar of Love and Techno by Anthony Marra. City on Fire by Garth Hallberg. A Hand Reached Down to Guide Me by David Gates. The Book of Aron by Jim Shepard. Above the Waterfall by Ron Rashand 7. Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee no points from anything else, and winning a prior Pulitzer is actually a negative score in the model.
