The National Book Critics Circle gave its fiction award to Edith Pearlman for her story collection “Binocular Vision” (Lookout Books) Thursday night in Manhattan.
This was the first book published by Lookout, which is based at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. Pearlman, born in 1936, published her debut collection of stories in 1996. Also a finalist this year for the National Book Award, she called the NBCC honor “a very sweet moment for me.”
