Yes, another rare event in the history of the republic.
After many years (seriously: I’ve known him since Jesus was getting his hair cut at boot camp) of honing his craft…
…friend, fellow blogger, writer, and noted book dealer Lawrence Person has won a major literary award.
Specifically, the Grand Prize in the 2024 Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest.
More from Lawrence here. Hearty congratulations to him on this achievement.
Sadly, I do not believe the award comes with any money attached. It used to come with a leather-bound set of Bulwer-Lytton’s books, but I have been unable to determine if that is still the case.
I did briefly consider buying him a leg lamp to commemorate the occasion, but an authentic leg lamp from the Christmas Story House is $300! Freaking! Dollars!
Can you get a ham hock bronzed?
A cheaper alternative.
