The 10th annual Asian American Literary Awards have been presented to, from left to right, poet Linh Dinh (Borderless Bodies), short story writer Samrat Upadhyay, and essayist Amitav Ghosh. (Good show, Houghton Mifflin, which publishes both Upadhyay and Ghosh.) The three authors will formally receive their prizes at a ceremony hosted by the Asian American Writers’ Workshop in late November.
