National Book Award finalists

[Spencer Thiel]

People always tell me I have my head up my ass, but until I read the
nominees, I had no idea how far:

***
Andre Dubus III, "House of Sand and Fog" (W.W. Norton & Company)
Kent Haruf, "Plainsong" (Alfred A. Knopf)
Patricia Henley, "Hummingbird House" (MacMurray & Beck)
Ha Jin, "Waiting" (Pantheon Books)
Jean Thompson, "Who Do You Love" (Harcourt Brace & Company)
**

Has anyone read, or even heard of any of these (Dubus excluded)?
