The Tournament of Books witnessed an upset of sorts yesterday, as our very own Beasts of No Nation by Uzodinma Iweala squeaked by Zadie Smith’s On Beauty to get into the second round. I say “of sorts,” because Beasts won the 2005 Discover Award for Fiction, and is a finalist for a Los Angeles Times Book Prize, so it’s not exactly a 90-pound weakling. That said, Zadie is Zadie, so we’re very proud. Congrats to Uzo, who takes on another heavyweight in round two: Ian McEwan’s Saturday.
