Faithful reader R. has alerted me that The Morning News is gearing up for the 2008 Tournament of Books:
Believe it or not, the Rooster of 2008 is fast approaching, and this year he is a monster, more ruthless than ever, ready to rip the guts out of 2007’s best novels to find out which one is the hardiest, the meatiest, the most delicious.
But we need your help. Please let us know by Friday, December 14th your top two (2) favorite novels from 2007 so we can make sure our readers have a voice amidst all the screams. Please note: Books must be fiction, in English, and published in 2007. Short story collections and novellas not invited.
Shoot your two (2) nominations with the subject Rooster 2008 to tob at themorningnews dot org. Thanks.
If you’re not hep to the Tournament, here’s an explanation and a link to the outcome of last year’s contest. Cormac McCarthy’s The Road was the hands-down winner, beating out a strong field.
