Sir Walter Raleigh and Me
Sunday, October 19, 2008
Mr. Sebastian and the Negro Magician, that novel I wrote, recently won The Sir Walter Raleigh Award. It's a distinction honoring the best novel published in North Carolina in the past year, and I couldn't be happier to have received it. I've never won anything before, not even a radio contest, so for this to be the first is a great way to break the ice on the award thing. Keep 'em coming. Turns out I like them.
Sir Walter Raleigh had a fascinating life, and I'm happy to have an association with him. We look a little bit alike, too. If I'd lived in the 16th and 17th century and they beheaded both of us at the same time, it might have been hard to tell which head was his and which head was mine. His last words: "Strike, man, strike!" He wasn't bowling.
