Nu știu cum de am aflat cu o întârziere de o săptămână care sunt câștigătorii National Magazine Awards 2015, dar și mai dezamăgit sunt de faptul că n-am citit mai mult de două articole dintre cele nominalizate la ediția de anul acesta.

Nautilus a câștigat la categoria Cel mai bun site al unei reviste și cred c-ar trebui să-ncep să-l frecventez și eu.

Vogue a câștigat premiul pentru cea mai bună revistă a anului. Și cred că n-am să-ncep s-o citesc și eu.

Vă recomand This Old Man, scris de Roger Angell, câștigător la categoria Eseu și critică (Essays and Criticism), unul dintre cele două articole finaliste pe care le-am citit. Celălalt este Scheherazade, scris de Haruki Murakami, pe care-l recomand, chiar dacă n-a câștigat la secțiunea Ficțiune.

Iată lista completă cu premiile. Cât de curând, sper să mai bifez de prin ele.
Mai multe informații sunt pe site-ul oficial.
