IMPAC Winner

June 11th, 2009 | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment | Print This Post

Michael Thomas’s Man Gone Down won this year’s IMPAC award. I remember the New York Times picked it as one of their five best books of fiction a couple of years ago, but when I picked it up on their recommendation I didn’t see any other reason to buy it. Not sure that will change with this win.
