A cynic's struggles: ‘The Book of George' wins Gabe Hudson Prize
NEW YORK (AP) — A comic novel about a cynic's struggles to connect with others has won a $10,000 award named for a widely-respected author and editor, the late Gabe Hudson.
Kate Greathead's 'The Book of George' is this year's recipient of the Gabe Hudson Prize, which is administered by the literary publisher McSweeney's. 'The Book of George' was praised by The Associated Press reviewer Kendal Weaver, who called Greathead 'a gifted storyteller who reels off dialogue filled with wit and humor so well it makes page-turning a pleasure.'
