It looks like I'm a finalist for the John Dos Passos Prize, and I'm in great company: the other finalists are Sesshu Foster, Linda Hogan, Victor LaValle, Kelly Link, and Crystal Wilkinson!
Honored and flattered. I love Dos Passos.

I'm happy because The John Dos Passos Prize is awarded to a currently under-recognized American writer. Now when my psychiatrist tells me to stop whining that no one knows who I am, I can say, look, I'm under-recognized, so there, and I can go on whining to my heart's delight.

Congratulations! Dos Passos is not well-enough remembered. The 42nd Parallel is a great novel.
