Mary Gordon is a bad ass. She wrote one of my all time fave books, "Spending", which is pure magic. She also wrote an excellent, epic tale called "Pearl", a biography on Joan Of Arc & many other good books. I was stoked to see that she'd won the third annual Story Prize, but a little weirded out to find that her reward was a measly $20,000. What the heck? This woman is accomplished! Twenty grand doesn't go very far these days. Oh well, I doubt she's complaining.
