A Reminder
If you feel like you are short-circuiting as we approach the one year mark, know that this is allowed, not weakness in any way. You were not built to sustain all of this and though you can and will, part of that will be experiencing waves of deep sadness, anger, and hopelessness.
There is an end in sight, almost.
Keep doing the things that keep you sane. Keep taking care of your people. Let yourself feel grief, there is a lot to grieve. If you are used to being a cheerleader but can’t bring the energy, it’s okay to just be here.
This year’s National Book Awards ceremony was an evening with a message: We can do better.
The online-only event included a montage of Black winners past — narrated by LeVar Burton — with an admission: From 1936 to 1999, only 13 writers of color won a National Book Award. But this year’s event went some ways towards improving that situation; almost every honor went to a writer of color.
Check out our coverage of the evening – and links to coverage of some of the winning authors – here. And congratulations to winners Kacen Callender, Yu Miri and translator Morgan Giles, Don Mee Choi, Tamara Payne and Charles Yu!
