Lorrie Moore won the prize for fiction on Thursday, while Judy Blume and her longtime ally in the fight against book bans, the American Library Association, were given honorary prizes by the National Book Critics Circle. Moore, best known as a short-story writer, won the fiction prize for her novel, 'I Am Homeless if This Is Not My Home.
' Blume, who accepted her award remotely from a bookstore she runs in Key West, Florida, thanked the ALA for 'their tireless work in protecting our intellectual freedoms.' The awards were handed out at a Thursday night ceremony at the New School in New York. Other winners included poet Safiya Sinclair, who took the autobiography prize for her acclaimed memoir 'How to Say Babylon,' about her Jamaican childhood and strict Rastafarian upbringing.
