Roz Chast Makes The Long List For This Year’s National Book Award Non-Fiction Honor

imageRoz Chast's Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant?, which by the end of 2014 will be a significant candidate for book of the year honors in comics, has become the first book in comics form to place on the long list for the National Book Awards on their non-fiction list. Considering how many good books come out in this general area of expression for comics, I'd love to see this become a regular thing. Whether that happens or not, it's still a mighty feat for Chast, the only female author on the list of ten.

The book was published by Bloomsbury.

There is a fun audio interview with Chast here.
