Book about president wins award
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - Master of the Senate, the third volume of Robert Caro's epic chronicle of the life and times of Lyndon Johnson, won the National Book Award for nonfiction Wednesday.
Other winners Wednesday were Julia Glass, who received the fiction prize for her novel Three Junes; Nancy Farmer, who won in the young people's literature category for The House of the Scorpion and poet Ruth Stone, who turned 87 this year, for her collection In the Next Galaxy.
I think you probably gave it to
me because I'm old," Stone said with a laugh.
Novelist Philip Roth, a twotime winner for Goodbye,
Columbus and Sabbath's Theater,
received an honorary medal.
Caro, 67, has been working on his Johnson series since the mid-1970s and has yet to reach the presidential years, the heart of a planned fourth and final volume.
Caro's first Johnson book, The Path to Power, was a National Book Award finalist in 1983.
Caro has been criticized by supporters of the late president for portraying him as little more than crude and ruthless. But there
were complaints about Master of the Senate, which follows Johnson's incredible rise from newly elected senator in the late 1940s to majority leader in 1954.
Caro had insisted from the beginning that he considered Johnson a creature of both ambition and benevolence and Master of the Senate emphasized his legislative genius in getting Congress, in 1957, to pass the first civil rights bill of the 20th century.
Winners received $10,000 and finalists $1,000. The awards are sponsored by the National Book Foundation, a nonprofit organization that runs educational outreach programs.
