NATIONAL BOOK AWARDS
Writers recognized
Joan Didion's "The Year of Magical Thinking," her memoir about the death of her husband, author John Gregory Dunne, brought the 70-year-old writer her first National Book Award last week.
The prize for fiction went to William T. Vollmann for "Europe Central," an 800-page novel, complete with footnotes, about Germany and the Soviet Union during World War II.
It was a night for first-time winners: W.S. Merwin won the poetry award for "Migration," and Jeanne Birdsall won the young people's literature award for her debut book, "The Penderwicks," about four sisters and their widowed father.
Winners each received $10,000.
