2010 Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalists Announced
The 2010 Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalists have been announced. The prizes are awarded the night before the weekend’s Festival of Books, which will take place in 2011 at its new home, the campus of USC. The complete list of finalists can be seen here.
This year is the second year that the awards have included a category for Graphic Novels. I’m very pleased to see Jim Woodring‘s Weathercraft get a nod this year, as it was a truly exceptional book. This year’s list also includes two newcomers, with Adam Hines and Dash Shaw. See the list below:
Graphic Novel
Adam Hines, “Duncan the Wonder Dog: Show One” (Adhouse Books)
Dash Shaw, “Bodyworld” (Pantheon)
Karl Stevens, “The Lodger” (KSA Publishing)
C. Tyler, “You’ll Never Know, Book Two: Collateral Damage” (Fantagraphics)
Jim Woodring, “Weathercraft” (Fantagraphics)
