Dogs in Action via Bessie

A mystery is a problem that encroaches upon itself because the questioner becomes the object of the question. Getting to Mars is a problem. Falling in love is a mystery.

“The … public artist whose work ranges from sculpture to landscape design has won the annual Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize, which comes with $250,000 and honors a United States-based artist ‘who has pushed the boundaries of an art form, contributed to social change, and paved the way for the next generation.'” – ARTnews

       (American) National Book Award finalists 

       They've announced the finalists for this year's (American) National Book Awards in all five categories. 
       The only title under review at the complete review is in the Translated Literature category -- Stephen Snyder's translation of Ogawa Yoko's The Memory Police -- though I should be getting to the Krasznahorkai soon as well. 
       Interesting also to see that there were the fewest submissions in the Translated Literature category -- only 145, when even Poetry had 245 submissions. Disappointingly, however, the names of the submitted titles are not revealed ..... 
       The winners will be announced 20 November.
