Daniel Handler (who sometimes when he writes is known as Lemony Snickett) made a remarkably dense joke about self-consciousness about racial stereotypes after Jacqueline Woodson won the National Book Award Young People’s Literature Prize for her book, Brown Girl Dreaming. Handler was not nearly self-conscious enough to know that Woodson’s allergy to watermelon was precisely psychological in nature as a reaction to racism. Read Jacqueline Woodson about this event here at The New York Times. To read about Handler’s appropriate apology, read this story in The Washington Post.

Here is Jacqueline Woodson’s acceptance speech for this award:

NOTES

According to The Guardian, British publishers and the Society for Authors (a trade union for UK writers) are trying to push back against Amazon’s fierce demands for more power in the book industry. They liken Amazon’s terms to a form of “assisted suicide.”

According to The Times, Barnes and Noble will spin off its Nook division as a separate company from its traditional bookseller endeavors.

Carlton Melton’s “Spiderwebs” accompanies Maureen Vance’s “Jane and Me.” This song is available on the album Always Even.
