Congratulations are due to Miriam Katin for garnering the 2008 Grand Prix de la Critique bande the French edition of her memoir We Are On Our Own. ActuaBD.com has the news (in French) as well as an interview with the author (also in French).
While I’m at it, belated congrats also to Sherman Alexie and Ellen Forney for winning a National Book Award for young people’s literature for Alexie’s novel The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. Forney provided illustrations for the book.
