Join us today as we celebrate the announcement of the 2008 Kiriyama Prize winners. The fiction and nonfiction winners will divide the US $30,000 cash prize. One of the projects of Pacific Rim Voices (of which PaperTigers and WaterBridge Review are also part of), the Kiriyama Prize was established in 1996 to recognize outstanding books about the Pacific Rim and South Asia that encourage greater understanding of and among the peoples and nations of this vast and culturally diverse region.
The latest issue of WaterBridge Review features reviews of all 10 finalists as well as a spirited conversation with Canadian author Sally Ito and author/translator Abby Pollak, who chaired the 2008 judges’ panels. Our own PaperTigers blogger Janet Brown, who hosts The Tiger’s Bookshelf, was a judge on this years’ non-fiction panel.
We invite you to visit our family of websites, where readers with a wide range of tastes and interests can begin/deepen their literary explorations of the Pacific Rim and South Asia.
PaperTigers.org is part of the Pacific Rim Voices family of websites which includes The Kiriyama Prize and WaterBridge Review. The Kiriyama Prize was established in 1996 to recognize outstanding books about the Pacific Rim and South Asia that encourage greater mutual understanding of and among the peoples and nations of this vast and culturally diverse region. The Prize consists of a cash award of US $30,000, which is split equally between the fiction and nonfiction winners. On February 26th the finalists for the 2008 Kiriyama Prize were announced on the website. Winners will be announced on April 1, 2008.
Thank you for reminding all of us that our interrelated “family of websites” offer a wealth of truly marvelous book suggestions.
