Roz Chast Won Best Autobiography From National Book Critics Circle

Michael Cavna has a nice piece here on the stupendous accomplishment of Roz Chast winning a category at the NBCC Awards, one of the big ones from prose books. It's deserved and she's been an incredible ambassador for comics as an art form of serious expression. That book is really, really good and I'm delighted to see it pick up honors. And who doesn't love and enjoy Roz Chast?

I think this may be good news for the future, as well, even if it's only a certain kind of book that might get honored this way. I'll take it. I'm happy to see comics awarded this way, and want to see the best of the medium's output awarded every way possible.
