Tournament Of Books Begins With Face-Off Between 'Let The Great World Spin' And 'Miles From Nowhere'

Tournament Of Books 2010 Begins

First, let me get some caveats out of the way. Since my co-editor Andrew and I are judging in the first round this year (in past years we've judged the Zombie Round), I want to say that I wasn't involved in laying out this year's brackets--that task was left up to the seeders. So I didn't play a part in putting these two books together, Colum McCann's Let the Great World Spin and Nami Mun's Miles From Nowhere, even though they're both about New York--and now having read them, I'd say it's a pretty great pairing.
