Book of the Year
Powerline awards it to Norman Podhoretz’s “World War IV: The Long Struggle Against Islamo-Fascism” and will deliver an anonymous donor’s $25,000 in Podhoretz’s name to Soldier’s Angels. Powerline is out-awarding the majors … Pulitzer, National Book Critics Circle … and for a good cause. I’d call it a blogosphere arrival moment, echoing Scott at Powerline who, in true blogging form, is not shy about a well-deserved reach-over-the-back pat:
Among other things, it promises to be a “new media” milestone. The biggest cash prize in American letters isn’t the Pulitzer or the National Book Award–prizes which are unlikely ever to go to a conservative writer. It’s the Power Line Book of the Year Award. And it will honor a book that dwarfs in scope and ambition just about all of the works published on current events in 2007.
