THEY KEEP COMING: Foreign Influences Take Over National Book Awards!

The N.Y.Times reports that “International roots characterized the fiction finalists for the National Book Awards, which were announced on Wednesday. Among the five finalists were Colum McCann, the Irish-born author of “Let the Great World Spin,” a novel about a sprawling cast of characters in 1970s New York City, Daniyal Mueenuddin, who was raised partly in Lahore, Pakistan, and currently lives on a farm in the Punjab region of Pakistan, for “In Other Rooms, Other Wonders,” and Marcel Theroux, who was born in Uganda and lives in London, for “Far North.””

How might the United States address this trend?  Maybe an extension of the border fence.  🙂
