Awards abound! Congratulations this week go to Dave Cullen – his book, Columbine has been named the 2009 Discover Great Writers Award winner in Nonfiction. Columbine is also a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize.

In other Cullen news, Dave posted an essay on The Daily Beast from the Afterword to the paperback edition of Columbine revealing the secret meeting of Eric Harris' parents with his victims' kin—offering a rare glimpse into how they saw their son. It’s truly a heart wrenching and perplexing read.
